138 Probability paper [ ( ) ] x = log −log 1−p y = log( θ – h) Probability plotting can only be used to estimate θ by plotting several lines and using some goodness-of-fit criterion (see text for details). The FT-III distribution is a special case of the GEV (θ < 0). For this reason, it is advisable to use the estimation techniques referenced for the GEV. If the transformation X = –X is applied to the FT-III, a three-parameter Weibull distribution is obtained. 10. Generalized Pareto distribution f( x) 1 x = ⎛ – ⎞ β −1 1 β α ⎝ α ⎠ x > 0 = 0 otherwise 1 GUIDE TO WAVE ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING This distribution is the asymptotic distribution for exceedances over a level (in a similar way to the GEV for extremes). For details of its use and estimators, see Smith (1984). The exponential distribution is a special case with β = 0.
