Sampling variance of flood quantiles from the generalised logistic distribution estimated using the method of L-moments

The method of L-moments is the recommended method for fitting the three parameters (location, scale and shape) of a Generalised Logistic (GLO) distribution when conducting flood frequency analyses in the UK. This paper examines the sampling uncertainty of quantile estimates obtained using the...
