Hydrolqgic Statistic: Probabilistic Treatment of Hydrologic Data

This document discusses probabilistic treatment of hydrologic data. It states that hydrologic data with no correlation between observations over time or space is considered stochastic, time-independent, and space-independent. This type of treatment is appropriate for extreme hydrologic events averaged over long time intervals, such as annual precipitation. It then defines a random variable X as a variable described by a probability distribution, where the probability of an event X=A is given by its relative frequency for a sample or population.

HYDROLQGIC STATISTIC

When there is no correlation between adjacent observations, the output of a


hydrologic system is treated as stochastic, space-independent, and time
independent.
This type of treatment is appropriate for observations of extreme hydrologic
events, such as floods or droughts, and for hydrologic data averaged over long time
intervals, such as annual precipitation.

PROBABILISTIC TREATMENT OF HYDROLOGIC DATA

A random variable X is a variable described by a probability distribution

(relative frequency of for the event X=A for sample)

(relative frequency of for the event X=A for population)


Solution
There are n=79-11+1=69 data
A is the event R35.0 in and B is the event
R45.0 in.
The number of these events in the table are
nA =23 and nB =19.
So,
P(A)23/69=0.333 and
P(B) 19/69=0.275.

The probability that the annual precipitation


is 35 R 45 can be calculated:
FREQUENCY AND PROBABILITY FUNCTION
The cycle may be closed
by computing a theoretical
value of the relative
frequency function. Called
the incremental probability
function:
