L-Moments: Analysis and Estimation of Distributions Using Linear Combinations of Order Statistics
L-矩:利用次序统计量的线性组合分析与估计分布
SUMMARY L-moments are expectations of certain linear combinations of order statistics. They can be defined for any random variable whose mean exists and form the basis of a general theory which covers the summarization and description of theoretical probability distributions, the summarization and description of observed data samples, estimation of parameters and quantiles of probability distributions, and hypothesis tests for probability distributions. The theory involves…
