This study was conducted to derive optimal design floods by Generalized Extreme-value(GEV) distribution for the annual maximum series at ten watersheds along Han, Nagdong, Geum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems. Adequacy for the analysis of flood data used in this study was established by the tests of Independence, Homogeneity, detection of Outliers. L-coefficient of variation, L-skewness and L-kurtosis were calculated by L-moment ratio respectively. Parameters were estimated by the Methods of Moments and L-Moments. Design floods obtained by Methods of Moments and L-Moments using different methods for plotting positions in GEV distribution were compared by the relative mean and relative absolute error. It was found that design floods derived by the method of L-moments using weibull plotting position formula in GEV distribution are much closer to those of the observed data in comparison with those obtained by method of moments using different formulas for plotting positions in view of relative mean and relative absolute error.

This study performed the non-stationary flood frequency analysis considering time-varying parameters of a probability density function. Also, return period and risk under non-stationary condition were estimated. A stationary model and three non-stationary models using Generalized Extreme Value(GEV) were developed. The only location parameter was assumed as time-varying parameter in the first model. In second model, the only scale parameter was assumed as time-varying parameter. Finally, the both parameters were assumed as time varying parameter in the last model. Relative likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion were used to select appropriate model. The suggested procedure in this study was applied to eight multipurpose dams in South Korea. Using relative likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion it is shown that the inflow into the Hapcheon dam and the Seomjingang dam were suitable for non-stationary GEV model but the other six dams were suitable for stationary GEV model. Also, it is shown that the estimated return period under non-stationary condition was shorter than those estimated under stationary condition.

Extreme wind speed analysis has been carried out conventionally by assuming the extreme series data is stationary. However, time-varying trends of the extreme wind speed series could be detected at many surface meteorological stations in China. Two main reasons, exposure change and climate change, were provided to explain the temporal trends of daily maximum wind speed and annual maximum wind speed series data, recorded at Hangzhou (China) meteorological station. After making a correction on wind speed series for time varying exposure, it is necessary to perform non-stationary statistical modeling on the corrected extreme wind speed data series in addition to the classical extreme value analysis. The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution with time-dependent location and scale parameters was selected as a non-stationary model to describe the corrected extreme wind speed series. The obtained non-stationary extreme value models were then used to estimate the non-stationary extreme wind speed quantiles with various mean recurrence intervals (MRIs) considering changing climate, and compared to the corresponding stationary ones with various MRIs for the Hangzhou area in China. The results indicate that the non-stationary property or dependence of extreme wind speed data should be carefully evaluated and reflected in the determination of design wind speeds.

Waves can be expressed in terms of a spectrum; that is, the energy density distribution of a representative wave can be determined using statistical analysis. The JONSWAP, PM and BM spectra have been widely used for the specific target wave data set during storms. In this case, the extracted wave data are usually discontinuous and independent and cover a very short period of the total data-recording period. Previous studies on the continuous wave spectrum have focused on wave deformation in shallow water conditions and cannot be generalized for deep water conditions. In this study, the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) function is proposed as a more-optimal function for the fitting of the continuous wave spectral shape based on long-term monitored point wave data in deep waters. The GEV function was found to be able to accurately reproduce the wave spectral shape, except for discontinuous waves of greater than 4 m in height.

Derivatio of reasonable design floods was attempted by comparative analysis of design floods derived by Generalized Extreme Value(GEV) distribution using methods of L-moments and LH-moments for the annual maximum series at ten watersheds along Han, Nagdong. Geum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems, LH-coefficient of variation, LH-skewness and Lh-kurtosis were calcualted by KH-moment ration respectively. Paramenters were estimated by the Method of LH-Moments, Design floods obtained by Method of LH-Moments using different methods for plotting positionsi n GEV distribution and design floods were compared with those obtained using the Method of L-Moments by the Relative Mean Errors(RME) and Relative Absolute Errors(RAE). The results was found that design floods derived by the method of L-Moments and LH-Moments using Cunnane plotting position formula in the GEV distribution are much closer to those of the observed data in comparison with those obtained by methods of L-moments and LH-moments using the other formula for plotting positions from the viewpoint of Relative Mean Errors and Relative Absolute Errors. In viewpoint of the fact that hydrqulic structures including dams and levees are genrally using design floods with the return period of two hundred years or so, design floods derived by LH-Moments are seemed to be more reasonable than those of L-Moments in the GEV distribution.

One of the important problem in statistical hydrology is to estimate the appropriated probability distribution for a given sample data. For the problem, a goodness-of-fit test is conducted based on the similarity between estimated probability distribution and assumed theoretical probability distribution. Probability plot correlation coefficient test (PPCC) is one of the goodness-of-fit test method. PPCC has high rejection power and its application is simple. In this study, test statistics of PPCC were derived for generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) models based on L-moments and these statistics were suggested by the multiple and nonlinear regression equations for its usability. To review the rejection power of the newly proposed method in this study, Monte Carlo simulation was performed with other goodness-of-fit tests including the existing PPCC test. The results showed that PPCC-A test which is proposed in this study demonstrated better rejection power than other methods, including the existing PPCC test. It is expected that the new method will be helpful to estimate the appropriate probability distribution model.

국내 홍수빈도해석 지침서 제공을 위한 기초 연구로서 미국 홍수빈도해석 지침서인 Bulletin 17B과 같이 국내 적합한 홍수빈도해석 기법을 제시하고자 하였다. 홍수빈도해석 지침서의 핵심은 확률분포형과 매개변수 추정법을 제시하는 것이며 이에 GEV(Generalized Extreme Value), GLO(Generalized Logistic) 분포, B-GLS(Bayesian Generalized Least Square) 기법을 대상으로 다양한 연구를 수행하였다. B-GLS 기법을 이용하여, 국내 대유역에 골고루 위치하며 댐의 영향을 받지 않는 31개 지점의 연최대 일유량 시계열의 L-변동계수(L-moment coefficient variation)와 L-왜도계수(L-moment coefficient skewness)를 추정할 수 있는 회귀모형을 제안하였다. 위 회귀모형을 구성하기 위한 유역특성으로는 유역면적, 유역경사, 유역평균강우 등을 사용하였다. Bayesian-GLS(B-GLS) 적용 결과를 OLS(Ordinary Least Square) 및 B-GLS 기법에서 지점간의 상관관계를 고려하지 않는 Bayesian-WLS(Weighted Least Square)와 비교 평가하여 그 우수성을 입증하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 B-GLS에 의한 지역회귀모형은 국내의 미계측유역이나 또는 관측 길이가 짧은 계측유역의 홍수빈도분석을 위해 매우 유용할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 수행된 연구의 내용을 공론화하는 노력이 계속된다면 공감대가 형성된 가이드라인을 제정되는데 일조를 하리라 확신한다.

This study was conducted to derive the design rainfall by the consecutive duration using the at-site frequency analysis. Using the errors, K-S tests and LH-moment ratios, Log Pearson type 3 (LP3) and Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions of Gamma and Non-Gamma Family, respectively were identified as the optimal probability distributions among applied distributions. Parameters of GEV and LP3 distributions were estimated by the method of L and LH-moments and the Indirect method of moments respectively. Design rainfalls following the consecutive duration were derived by at-site frequency analysis using the observed and simulated data resulted from Monte Carlo techniques. Relative root-mean-square error (RRMSE) and relative efficiency (RE) in RRMSE for the design rainfall derived by at-site analysis in the observed and simulated data were computed and compared. It has shown that at-site frequency analysis by GEV distribution using L-moments is confirmed as more reliable than that of GEV and LP3 distributions using LH-moments and Indirect method of moments in view of relative efficiency.

확률강우량은 하천설계, 수자원설계 및 계획을 위한 기초자료로 활용되며 최근 이상기후 및 기후변화로 인한 극치강우의 빈도 및 양적 증가로 인한 확률강우량 산정의 불확실성 분석에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있다. 수문빈도 해석에 있어서 대부분 지역이 50년 이하의 수문자료가 이용되고 있으며 수문설계에서 요구되는 50년 이상의 확률강수량 추정시에는 상당한 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구에서는 자료연수에 따른 Sampling Error와 분포형의 매개변수의 불확실성을 고려한 해석모형을 구축하고자 한다. 빈도해석에서 매개변수를 추정하기 위해서는 일반적으로 모멘트법, 최우도법, 확률가중모멘트법이 이용되고 있으나 사용되는 분포형에 따라서 통계학적으로 불확실성 구간을 정량화하는 과정이 난해할 뿐만 아니라 극치 수문자료가 Thick-Tailed분포의 특성을 가짐에도 불구하고 신뢰구간 산정시 정규분포로 가정하는 등 기존 해석 방법에는 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 매개변수의 불확실성 평가에 있어서 우수한 해석능력을 발휘하는 Bayesian기법을 도입하여 분포형의 매개변수를 추정하고 매개변수 추정과 관련된 불확실성을 평가하고자 한다. 이와 별개로 자료연한에 따른 Sampling Error를 추정하기 위해서 Bootstrapping 기반의 해석모형을 구축하고자 하며 최종적으로 빈도해석시에 나타나는 불확실성을 종합적으로 검토하였다. 빈도해석을 위한 확률분포형으로 GEV(generalized extreme value)분포를 이용하였으며 Gibbs 샘플러를 활용한 Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo 모의를 기본 해석모형으로 활용하였다.

최근 다변량 확률모형을 이용한 빈도해석이 수문자료 등에 적용되면서 다양하게 연구되고 있으며 다변량 확률모형 중 copula 모형은 주변분포형에 대한 제약이 없어 여러 분야에 걸쳐 활발히 연구되고 있다. 강우자료는 기존 일변량 빈도해석을 수행하기 위하여 사용하던 block maxima 방법 대신 최소무강우시간(inter event time)을 통하여 강우사상을 추출하여 표본으로 사용한다. 또한 기후변화로 인한 강우량의 변화등에 대응하기 위하여 비정상성 Generalized Extreme Value(GEV)와 Gumbel 등의 확률분포형에 대한 연구도 많은 부분 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는, Archimedean copula 모형을 이용하여 이변량 확률모형을 구축하면서 여기에 사용되는 주변분포형에 정상성/비정상성 분포형을 적용하였다. 모형의 매개변수는 inference function for margin 방법을 이용하였으며 주변분포형으로는 정상성/비정상성 GEV, Gumbel 모형을 적용하였다. 결과로 정상성/비정상성 경향을 나타내는 지점을 구분하고 각 지점에 대한 정상성/비정상성 주변분포형을 적용한 이변량 확률분포형을 구하였다.
