Abstract

The floods of the Fox River were analyzed with the aid of probability density functions at two stations, namely, Berlin, Wisconsin (upstream) and Wrightstown, Wisconsin (downstream). From this data a distribution was found. Suppose we are interested to know how severe a flood has to be to cause a discharge of 20,000 c.f.s. (cubic feet per second) at Wrightstown and a discharge of 6,000 c.f.s. at Berlin. Denoting by X and Y the reduced values of the floods at upstream and downstream respectively, the authors can compute this. Most of the report is made of tables of probability and density functions for bivariate extremal distributions.
