Summary
The four-parameter exponential gamma (FPEG) distribution can be applied to frequency analysis of a range of random variables, such as floods, drought, wind velocity, and rainfall. The FPEG distribution is versatile and gives rise to a number of distributions that are popularly used for frequency analyses in environmental and water engineering. This chapter discusses the characteristics of this distribution and the estimation of its parameters using different methods.
