       OR USED BY THE AUTHOR TO SUPPORT HIS TOUR OF L-MOMENT THEORY

These references listed here are slight extensions of those published in my book,
which is currently sold royalty free and a great buy.

Asquith, W.H., 2011, Distributional analysis with L-moment statistics using the R environment for statistical computing: First edition, CreateSpace, ISBN 978-1463508418, 344~p. \surl{https://www.amazon.com/dp/1463508417}.


The references are listed in the native long-hand bibliographic style of LaTeX.  Several packages might be needed if you use these directly, such as the ragged2e package for the RaggedRight command. Also note that I use a different url function for slightly smaller text.
