Plotting-position estimators of L moments and L moment ratios have several disadvantages compared with the ''unbiased'' estimators. For general use, the ''unbiased'' estimators should be preferred. Plotting-position estimators may still be useful for estimating extreme upper tail quantiles in regional frequency analysis. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
