Abstract

A new distribution is proposed for the annual maxima of enviromental variables such as wind speed or wave height. This distribution overcomes some of the problems caused by seasonal variation in environmental data. A method of estimating its parameteres is given together with some examples of its application.

The paper examines how empirical models can be constructed to describe the dependence of the error in fitting data to parametric models of probability distributions on the type of distribution, sample size, parent parameter values and percentiles of interest. Such models are important in evaluating
