OBJECTIVES:

The objective of frequency analysis in a natural context is to infer
the probability that various size events will be exceeded or not
exceeded from a given sample of recorded events. Two basic problems
exist for most natural applications. First the sample is usually
small, by statistical standards, resulting in uncertainty as to the
true probability. And secondly, a single theoretical frequency
distribution does not always fit a particular data- type equally well
in all applications. Regionalizing the probability distributions could
improve the at-site estimates and estimate the future events for
ungauged sites. The interaction between sites and also the variables
is of interest for further research

This special issue would attempt to bring the new developments in
Probability Distributions and Frequency Analysis and the applications
in diverse environments.
