| The data set of highest monthly rainfall for Basrah station, south of Iraq, for 75-given years for period (1900-2000) with missing data for (1959-1979) provided the required data to identify the proper theoretical statistical distribution. A demonstration version of HYFRAN for windows software is used to fit the available data set. Six distributions are selected to carry this study including: Normal, Lognormal, 3-parameters lognormal, Pearson type III, Log Pearson type III, and Gumbal. Maximum likelihood method is selected to estimate theoretical distribution parameters. Adequacy test is conducted using Chi-square test. Results indicate that Pearson type III and Gumbal distributions are the proper for describe maximum monthly rainfall in the area being examined. | ||
