Estimation of Quantiles with Application to Regulationsbody over a predetermined period. Estimation of a quantile (also known as percentile or fractile) can provide the limit L, at the regulation setting stage, or provide the means of assessing compliance with the regulation at the monitoring stage. Methods for the nonparametric estimation of a quantile

Square Root Transformation of Data in an Effluent Limit Setting Programte effluent limits in various regulatory programs (E.P.A., 1987). The choice of a distribution to characterize a set of data is a common cause of subjective bias and a wrong choice of distribution could lead to improper effluent limits. The problem becomes more acute when some of the data are below

Development of a Methodology for Data Collection Network Designincludes three stages. The first stage is to investigate the stochastic relationships amongst the gauging stations. The non-parametric estimation technique is used to estimate the joint frequency distribution for pairs of stations. The distributions are then used in the second stage to compute the d
