Abstract Selection of a suitable probability distribution and associated parameter estimation method is an important step in Rainfall Frequency Analysis (RFA). Several probability distributions and parameter estimation methods have been developed to model extreme rainfall events in different regions in the world. In this study, ten probability distributions are evaluated to identify the most suitable model that could provide accurate extreme rainfall estimates in Egypt. These distributions are: Normal (N), Log-Normal (LN), Gumbel (GUM), Pearson Type III (PIII), Log-Pearson Type III (LPIII), |
