Lucas, C., Muraleedharan, G. e Guedes Soares, C. (2019) , “Assessment of the uncertainty of estimated extreme quantiles by regional frequency analysis”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 190, pp. 106347-1 - 106347-19
The accuracy of the estimated regional extreme quantiles off Portugal determined by the regional frequency analysis is ascertained by constructing confidence intervals. The regional frequency analysis was performed for significant wave height data from 35 sites in a grid of 0.25° x 0.25° off Portugal, extracted from the 44 years HIPOCAS hindcast wave database. The position and site statistics are used to form homogeneous regions or clusters by the regional frequency analysis algorithm. The regions obtained by applying the regional frequency analysis to 35 points are used in this study for Monte Carlo simulations to determine the precision of the regional estimated quantiles from the actual data (i.e. the hindcast data) that have the same number of sites, sample sizes of the sites and the regional averages of the actual data. The between-site differences in population for the simulated region are determined to be less than the sample of the actual data as the samples are more dispersed than the respective population due to sampling variability. Simulated regions also integrate heterogeneity, misidentification of the frequency distribution and cross-correlations of the sites of the actual data.
