Extreme rainfall in West Africa: A regional modeling (2012, methodology): “The computational simplicity and the robustness of RFA makes it a popular method in hydrology [Sveinsson et al., 2001; Gellens, 2002; Sveinsson and Boes, 2002; Bonnin et al., 2004; Durrans and Kirby, 2004; Trefry et al., 2005; Yurekli et al., 2009].”
Statistics of extremes in hydrology (2002, background): “Various limitations of regional analysis have been raised right from the start of its use [26], including the distortion that arises from dividing the peak flows by their sample mean instead of the unknown population mean [90,91], spatial heterogeneity of regions (i.”
A comparison of homogeneity tests for regional frequency analysis (2007, background): “As clearly pointed out by Sveinsson et al. [2001] , this change is not trouble-free, since replacing the population mean by its sampling counterpart can produce relevant distortions in the regional frequency analysis.”
