Pearson's system of frequency curves whose left boundary and first three momentsare known

PETER H. MÜLLER and HEIKO VAHL

Leichtweiss-Institut für Wasserban der Technischen Universität Braunschweig

For a known left boundary it is possible to compute a kurtosis ß2–3 by use ofthe known mean, standard deviation and skewness. We show thus derived densities for types I, III, V and VI of the Pearson system and indicate a way to use published tables of standardized percentage points.

Key Words: Fitting frequency curves • Left bounded curves • Moments • Pearson's type I, type III, type V, type VI
