(a) Comparison of cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) derived from empirical (observed) data and Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) estimates, based on the field gauge annual maxima of Floodwater Depth; (b) Probability-Probability (P-P) plot comparing the cumulative probability of empirical data with the fitted GEV distribution; (c) Quantile-Quantile (Q-Q) plot comparing the quantiles of empirical data with those from the fitted GEV distribution; (d,e,f) Corresponding CDF, P-P, and Q-Q plot comparisons for the Peaks over Threshold (POT) and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD).
