========== START ERRATA (post May    2026) ======

Eq. 6.10: The term 1/(1-r) is incorrect and reverses sign. The correct and
      confirmed by a revisitation to Jones (2004) is 1/(r-1), which then
      becomes structurally similar to r-1 elsewhere. Discovered as part of
      computation of the L-moments of a well-known CDF as the author was
      studying conditional L-moments of a bivariate copula.

Eq. 8.106 is incorrect. The part written as [1-\kappa(2F-1)^2] needs to be
      written as [1-\kappa(2F-1)]^2 for the polynomial density-quantile3
      distribution and correct to Hosking (2007).
Eq. 8.120 is incorrect. The ratio of 4/5 in both subequations needs to be
      5/4 during testing of implementation of the polynomial density-quantile4
      distribution and correct to Hosking (2007).
# Both the above were discovered during April 2022 implementation of the
# PDQ3 and PDQ4 distributions. Corrections to the authors LaTeX sources done.

P.170 Declaration that Kappa of the GEV is > -1 is incorrect. The Kappa can
      attain any Kappa. Corrections to the author's LaTeX sources done.

p.xi: Preface incorrectly says that only one figure not generated from
           code in the book. Actually, seven figures (12.13--12.18) and
           fix the page reference to the actual dissertation (p. 379--380,
           382--383).
  (This is not an errata per se, but represents slight clarification.)

p.18: Added ahead of Section 2.1.1: 'Lastly, prodigious treatment of
           distributional analysis is found in Karian and Dudewicz (2011).'
           and included Karian and Dudewicz (2011) in the References.
           (11/7/2013)
  (This is not an errata per se, I was not aware of the book until 2013.)

p.48: Added a 'Stedinger et al. (1993)' citation to closing paragraph of
           the equations for the median. (11/7/2013)
  (This is not an errata per se, but represents a slight enhancement.)

p.93: Added a 'Viglione (2010)' citation and minor restructuring of the
           two paragraphs following the eq. for \tau_r = \lambda_r/\lambda_2,
           and included Viglione (2010) in the References. (11/7/2013)
  (This is not an errata per se, I was not aware of the paper until 2013.)

p.179-80: Added some expanded notes and another equation concerning
           relation between tau2 and the shape parameter if the bounds
           are zero.

p.179: A "tau_3 > 0" note for log-Normal3 is needed as in "for x > 0 and
           tau_3 > 0" just before eq. 8.37 is displayed. Then, a new final
           sentence for that paragraph (after "sigma_log > 0"), should be
           added (7/23/2013):
     "The reflection rule (see p. 27) could be used for tau_3 < 0 when log-
      Normal3 application is used in lieu of the Generalized Normal."
  (This is not an errata per se, but represents slight clarification.)

p.203: "remarkablely" should be written "remarkably"

p.204: Character "k" in eqs. 9.1 and 9.2 should be a "\kappa".

p.209: Added 'Karian and Dudewicz (2011)' citation among others for the
           GLD. (11/7/2013)
  (This is not an errata per se, I was not aware of the book until 2013.)

p.316: Incorrect opening quotation mark used for the opening quote by
           Gubareva and Gartsman (2010). Trivial fix.

p.320: Incorrect author-name order in Balakrishnan and Chen (1995), it
           should be Chen and Balakrishnan (1995) but the order on the
           citation inside the text (see PWM chapter) is correct.

backcover: fixed misspelling of Wakeby in late June 2011

p.3: accesssible --> accessible (09/03/2011)

p.49: Added the incomplete beta function for contrast against the complete
               beta function in eq. 3.10. Sorry, but equation numbers in
               the remainder of the chapter change by one. Minor changes
               in indexing beta function related topics. (2/18/2013)

p.95: eq. 6.39 shows L-moments in terms of E[X_{1:k}], added another eq.
               for L-moments in terms of E[X_{k:k}] so that the definitions
               by the two types of extrema are shown in parallel. Sorry,
               but equation numbers in remainder of the chapter change by
               one. Minor tweaks of p.95 to reflect "minima or maxima" terms.

From Jason Giovannettone (05/22/2012)
p.140: eq.7.25  drop the '/\beta' from (x/\beta)^{\alpha-1} verified correct
                against seven other references

From Jason Giovannettone (05/21/2012)
p.146: eq.7.43  Y = -(x - \xi)/\alpha
p.149: eq.7.57  f(x) = \alpha^{-1}exp(Y){exp[-exp(Y)]}
# WHA---confirm lmomco is ok

p.153: scale --> shape1 and scale --> shape2 above eq. 7.68
p.153: (\tau_3 - \hat\tau_3)^2 --> (\lambda_1 - \hat\lambda_1)^2
p.153: (\tau_4 - \hat\tau_4)^2 --> (\lambda_2 - \hat\lambda_2)^2
# WHA---confirm lmomco is ok. Bad cut/paste from GLD during writing.

p.154: spare ; deleted in 7-29

p.160: Added "modified" in front of two Modified Bessels (9/21/2012)
           Bold faced modified and adjusted indexing.

p.190: removed ()'s around "a-1" in eq. 8.84 and 8.85 (5/22/2012)

p.191: lower case "beta" instead of "Beta" in three locations (9/18/2013)

p.204: plural "constraints" needed above eq. 9.1 (04/12/2012)

p.209: 1/f(x) = a[k(F^(k-1) PLUS h(1-F)^(h-1)] (09/04/2011)
# WHA---confirm lmomco is ok and Karian and Dudewicz (2000, p.9)

p.209: dissertation --> monograph

p.326: order statistcs --> order statistics (in Sillitto reference)

p.330: fixed a small copula-related indexing order in late June 2011

p.332: incomplete Beta function ratio --> incomplete beta function ratio
            (9/18/2013)
