On the Distributions of Swamee
Publication: Journal of Hydrologic Engineering
Volume 13, Issue 4
Abstract
It is pointed out that the hydrological models introduced in recent papers by Swamee are contained by at least two families of distributions known since the 1940s. Some elementary statistical properties, history, and related issues of these families are discussed.
