| Abstract: |
Sample size determination is an important issue in statistical analysis. Obviously, thelarger the sample size is, the better the statistical results we have. However, in manyareas such as coastal engineering and environmental sciences, it can be veryexpensive or even impossible to collect large samples. In this paper, we propose ageneral method for determining the minimum sample size required by estimating thereturn levels from a generalized extreme value distribution. Both simulation studiesand the applications to real data sets show that the method is easy to implementand the results obtained are very good. |
