Both natural climate change and anthropogenic impacts may cause nonstationarities in
hydrological extremes. In this study, long-term annual maximum streamflow (AMS) records …

Non-stationary flood frequency analysis (FFA) is applied to statistical analysis of seasonal
flow maxima from Polish and Norwegian catchments. Three non-stationary estimation …

Background We hypothesized that current vital sign thresholds used in pediatric emergency
department (ED) screening tools do not reflect observed vital signs in this population. We …

The non-stationarity of hydrologic processes due to climate change or human activities is
challenging for the researchers and practitioners. However, the practical requirements for …

The empirical distribution of the loss given default (LGD) has support [0, 1], contains an
excess of 0s and 1s, and is often multimodal on (0, 1). Though some parametric models …

Portuguese wildfires are responsible for large environmental, ecological and socio-
economic impacts. This study explores the fire-environment relationships by modeling fire …

We introduce and study the Box–Cox symmetric class of distributions, which is useful for
modeling positively skewed, possibly heavy-tailed, data. The new class of distributions …

We propose a method to consider business cycles in the computation of capital for
operational risk. We examine whether the operational loss data of American banks contain a …

Abstract The Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) is the most widely used field-based
method for estimating anthelmintic efficacy and as an indicator of the presence of …

A new generalization of the extreme value distribution is presented with its density function,
having a wide variety of density and tail shapes for modeling extreme value data. This …
