Summary
The Halphen type A (Hal-A) frequency distribution has been employed for frequency analyses of hydrometeorological and hydrological extremes. This chapter derives this distribution using entropy theory and discusses the estimation of its parameters using the methods of entropy, moments, probability moments, L-moments, cumulative moments, and maximum likelihood estimation.
