Distribution functions for statistics derived from bivariate normal and bivariate two-parameter log-normal populations
James Richard Slack, Nicholas C. Matalas, James R. Wallis
1976, Open-File Report 76-214
The distribution functions for hydrologic statistics that may be used to assess the significance of differences between sample means, standard deviations, coefficients of skewness, and coefficients of variations are obtained by Monte Carlo experiments. The distributions are expressed as functions of sample size, cross correlation, and skewness. In general, the...
