The uncertainty of the risk of failure of hydraulic structures can be determined by estimating the variance of the risk of failure based on the methods of moments, probability weighted moments, and maximum likelihood assuming that the underlying model is the Gumbel distribution. In this paper, the variance of the risk of failure was derived. Monte Carlo simulation was peformed to verify the characteristics of the derived formulas for various sample size, design life, nonexceedance probability, and variation coefficient. As the results, PWM showed the smallest relative bias and root mean square error than the others while ML showed the smallest ones for relatively large sample siBes regardless of design life and nonexceedance probability. Also, it was found that variation coefficient does not effect on the relative bias and relative root mean square error.

For a coastal or harbor structure design, one of the most important environmental factors is the appropriate design wave condition. Especially, the information of deepwater wave height distribution is essential for reliability design. In this paper, a set of deep water wave data obtained from KORDI(2003) were analyzed for extreme wave heights. These wave data at 67 stations off the Korean coast from 1979 to 1998 were arranged in the 16 directions. The probability distributions considered in this research were the Weibull, the Gumbel, the Log-pearson Type-III, and Lognormal distribution. For each of these distributions, three parameter estimation methods, i.e. the method of moments, maximum likelihood and probability weighted moments, were applied. Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests were performed, and the assumed distribution was accepted at the confidence level 95%. Gumbel distribution which best fits to the 67 station was selected as the most probable parent distribution, and optimally estimated parameters and 50 year design wave heights were presented.

수문자료의 빈도해석은 자료의 독립성(independence)와 정상성(stationarity)를 가정하여 이뤄진다. 그러나 관측 수문자료에서 비정상성 현상이 발생하고 있다는 사실이 관측되면서 수문자료에 대한 비정상성 빈도해석에 대한 필요성도 커지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 수문자료의 빈도해석에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Gumbel 및 GEV 분포에 대한 비정상성 빈도해석 모형을 개발하는 것으로, 이를 위해 비정상성 Gumbel과 GEV 모형의 매개변수를 시간에 따라 변하는 형태로 정의하였다. 비정상성 Gumbel 및 GEV 모형의 정확도를 알아보기 위해 비정상성 모형과정상성 모형을 이용하여 Monte Carlo 모의실험을 수행하였다. 모의실험은 다양한 조건의 재현기간, 표본크기, 매개변수 조건을 고려하여 수행되었다. 그 결과 비정상성 모형의 오차는 비교적 표본크기가 클 때 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복잡한 매개변수의 조합을 가지는 비정상성 모형은 모두 동일한 경향성을 가질 때 가장 작은 오차를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 비정상성 GEV 모형의 경우는 확률수문량 산정에 음(-)의 형상 매개변수가 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서는 비정상성 조건에서 다양하게 존재하는 비정상성 모형 중 어떠한 모형이 주어진 자료에 대해 가장 적절한 모형인지 결정하기 위해 모의실험을 수행하였다. 널리 적용되고 있는 AIC, BIC, likelihood ratio test에 대해 정상성 및 비정상성 Gumbel 모형을 이용하여 모의실험을 수행한 결과, AIC가 비정상성 모형 중 적정 모형 선택에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 비정상성 Gumbel 및 GEV 모형의 적용성을 알아보기 위해 우리나라 연최대강우 자료에 적용한 결과, 위치 매개변수에 시간항을 고려하는 Gumbel 모형이 최적모형으로 가장 많이 선택되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 우리나라의 연최대강우자료 중 경향성이 나타나는 자료에 대해서는 위치 매개변수가 시간에 따라 변하는 특성이 가장 많이 나타나고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

A lot of nonstationary frequency analyses have been studied in recent years as the nonstationarity occurs in hydrologic time series data. In nonstationary frequency analysis, various forms of probability distributions have been proposed to consider the time-dependent statistical characteristics of nonstationary data, and various methods for parameter estimation also have been studied. In this study, we aim to introduce a parameter estimation method for nonstationary Gumbel distribution using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD); and to compare the results with the method of maximum likelihood. Annual maximum rainfall data with a trend observed by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) was applied. As a result, both EEMD and the method of maximum likelihood selected an appropriate nonstationary Gumbel distribution for linear trend data, while the EEMD selected more appropriate nonstationary Gumbel distribution than the method of maximum likelihood for quadratic trend data.

In this study, statistical analysis under both stationary and non-stationary climate was conducted for rainfall data measured in Seoul. Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) distribution and Gumbel distribution were used for the analysis. Rainfall changes under the non-stationary climate were estimated by applying time variable (t) to location parameter (${\xi}$). Rainfall depths calculated in non-stationary climate increased by 1.1 to 6.2mm and 1.0 to 4.6mm for the GEV distribution and gumbel distribution respectively from those stationary forms. Changes in annual maximum rainfall were estimated with rate of change in the location parameter (${\xi}1{\cdot}t$), and temporal changes of return period were predicted. This was also available for re-evaluating the current sewer design return period. Design criteria of sewer system was newly suggested considering life expectance of the system as well as temporal changes in the return period.

우리나라는 전체 강수량 중 절반 이상이 여름철에 집중되어 있으며, 그 중 전선형 강우와 같은 장마/집중호우와 저기압형 강우인 태풍이 동반하는 강우로 나뉠 수 있다. 태풍은 북태평양 부근에서 발생하며 중심 최대풍속이 17m/s 이상이며 폭풍우를 동반하는 열대성 저기압으로 정의된다. 태풍 관측 이래 우리나라에 영향을 준 태풍은 총 324개 이며, 연평균 3.1개가 영향을 미치고 있다. 태풍은 2010년 콤파스와 뎬무와 같이 많은 피해를 주기도 하지만 2009년과 같이 우리나라에 내습한 태풍이 없는 해도 있다. 이와 같이 태풍은 매 년 일정하게 내습을 하거나 영향을 미치지 않으며 무작위적으로 발생한다. 태풍의 발생확률은 설계강우량에 영향을 미치므로 이를 고려한 설계강우량 산정방법이 필요하며 태풍이 내습한 기간 중 가장 많은 강수량이 연최대치강우와 같아지는 횟수를 전체 자료기간으로 나눈 값을 발생확률로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서는 연최대치강우계열에서 태풍으로 인한 강우와 집중호우에 의한 강우로 분리하여 빈도해석을 실시하여 설계강우량을 산정하였다. 단일 모집단 분포를 이용하는 기존의 빈도해석 방법을 보완할 수 있는 혼합 분포함수를 이용하였다. 적용된 혼합 Gumbel 분포로 태풍 강우를 고려할 시 설계강우량의 변화율 살펴보았다. 대상 지점으로는 기상청에서 제공하고 1961년부터 강우량 자료가 존재하는 15개 지점을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 대구, 울산을 포함한 9개 지점에서 기존의 설계강우량에 비해 증가하였으며, 부산과 광주를 포함한 6개 지점에서 새롭게 추정된 설계강우량이 기존 값 보다 감소하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, rainfall characteristics with stationary and non-stationary perspectives were analyzed using generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and Gumbel distribution models with rainfall data collected in major cities of Korea to reevaluate the return period of sewer flooding in those cities. As a result, the probable rainfall for GEV and Gumbel distribution in non-stationary state both increased with time(t), compared to the stationary probable rainfall. Considering the reliability of ${\xi}_1$, a variable reflecting the increase of storm events due to climate change, the reliability of the rainfall duration for Seoul, Daegu, and Gwangju in the GEV distribution was over 90%, indicating that the probability of rainfall increase was high. As for the Gumbel distribution, Wonju, Daegu, and Gwangju showed the higher reliability while Daejeon showed the lower reliability than the other cities. In addition, application of the maximum annual rainfall change rate (${\xi}_1{\cdot}t$) to the location parameter made possible the prediction of return period by time, therefore leading to the evaluation of design recurrence interval.

Two methods for computing extreme sea levels, which are the extreme probability method and the joint probability method, are examined at five different ports (Incheon, Cheju, Yeosu, Pusan, Mukho). The extreme probability mothod estimates the extreme sea levels from three different probability papers of Gumbel, Weibull and generalized extreme value(GEV) using the least square method, conventional moment method and probability weighted moment method. respectively. The results showed that the extreme sea levels estimated by the Gumbel paper or the least square method appeared higher than those calculated by other papers or methods. The extreme values estimated by the extreme probability method are approximately 5-10 cm lower than the values by the joint probability method.

Probability plotting positions are popular and used as the basis for distribution fitting and for inspecting the quality of the fit because of its simplicity. The plotting positions that lead to excellent approximation to the mean of the order statistics should be used if the objective of the fitting is to estimate quantiles. Since the mean depends on the sample size and is not amenable for simple to use closed form solution, many plotting positions have been presented in the literature, including a new plotting position that is derived based on the weighted least-squares method. In this study, the accuracy of using the new plotting position to fit the Gumbel distribution for estimating quantiles is assessed. Also, plotting positions derived by fitting the mean of the order statistics for all ranks is proposed, and an approximation to the covariance of the order statistics for the Gumbel (and Weibull) variate is given. Relative bias and root-mean-square-error of the estimated quantiles by using the proposed plotting position are shown. The use of the proposed plotting position to estimate the quantiles of annual maximum wind speed is illustrated.
