Regional Frequency Distribution Type of Low Flow in North of Iran by L-moments (2008, background): “Trying to give a general conclusion on the utility of L-moment ratio diagrams to find a parent distribution, Peel et al. (2001) showed that for heterogeneous samples, the sample average is not useful for selecting parent distribution function.”
Battle of extreme value distributions: A global survey on extreme daily rainfall (2013, background): “L-Ratio plots have superseded classical moments ratio plots as they are superior in many aspects [see e.g., Hosking and Wallis, 1993; Hosking, 1992; Peel et al., 2001; Vogel and Fennessey, 1993].”
Flood frequency analysis of Turkey using L‐moments method (2011, background): “…L-Cs obtained from the observed sample series to the theoretical forms of the same diagrams obtained from the probability distributions (Dayrmple 1960, Hosking 1991, Vogel et al. 1993a, b, Vogel and Fenesy 1993, Vogel and Wilson 1996, Sankarasubramanian and Srinivasan 1999, Peel et al. 2001).”
