Summary

The D’Addario system contains a number of distributions that are commonly used in environmental and water engineering. These distributions result from the integration of a probability generating function and a transformation function. This chapter discusses the D’Addario system and discusses the hypotheses that are used for deriving this system and the distribution members of the system.
