PROOF OF PROBLEMS IN SLSC - SIMPLE EXPLANATION USING THE MEAN OF SLSC DERIVED BY SEMI-ANALYTIC METHOD -

Abstract

 We have published several reports explaining that the “Guide for River Plan Design for Small and Medium-sized Rivers” has some shortcomings. Although comparison of the goodness-of-fit of some probability distributions using SLSC is inappropriate, many analysts apparently do not understand our insistence and do not agree with our theory or our explanation of it. Therefore, we shall attempt a simpler explanation of our insistence using the mean of SLSC, for which we have succeeded with theoretical derivation. In the process of obtaining the mean, we use the joint probability density function of order statistics.
