title = "Regional flood frequency analysis of Western Australian data using L-moments",
abstract = "L-moments are linear moments of statistical distributions. Their advantage over conventional statistical moments is that they avoid raising data to powers of 2, 3 and 4 as required for variance, skewness and kurtosis respectively. This gives better parameter estimates when the data contain outlying values. L-moments are applied to flood series from Western Australia as illustration of the utility of L-moments theory for regional flood frequency studies.",
