LQ-moment : application to the generalized extreme valueÂ

The LQ-moments are analogous to L-moments, found always exists, easier to compute and have the same potential as L-moment were re-visited. The effeciency of the Weighted Kemal Quantile(WKQ), HD(Harrell and Davis) quantile the weighted HD qualities estimators compared with the Linear Interpolation Quantile (LIQ) estimator to estimate the sample of the LQ-moments. In this study we discuss of the quantile estimator of the LQ-moments method to estimate the parameters of the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. In order to determine which quantile estimator is the most suitable for the LQ-moment, the Monte Carlo simulation was considered. The result shows that the WKQ is considered as the best quantile estimator compared with the HDWQ, HDQ and LIQ estimator
