Summary
The Halphen type B (Hal-B) 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 with the use of the constraints used for their derivation. The distribution i+L13s tested using entropy and the methods of moments and maximum likelihood estimation.
