Abstract. The log-Pearson type 3 (LP3) distribution has been one of the most frequently used distributions for hydrologic frequency analyses since the recommendation of the Water Resources Council (1967, 1982) of the United States as to its use as the base method.
B. Pearson III Frequency Factor The Log-Pearson Type III is the most common distribution used in stream discharge frequency analyses. Unfortunately, there are no good analytical approximations for this distribution so practitioners almost always apply the Pearson Type III frequency factor approach, using log-transformed data (Eq. A.2). As.
In the annual flood series analysis, the Log-Pearson Type III probability distribution is often used to describe the flood frequency. The distribution can be fitted to the data by computation of the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of skewness of the logarithmic values of the flow data.

I'd like to perform a log Pearson III fit to some data points I have. However, everytime I try to it I get errors messages I don't really know what to do about. I should perhaps add that I'm only using R since a couple of days ago, so, I'm not an expert in it.
A mathematical and statistical study which shows the flexibility and limitations of the log Pearson type 3 distribution is carried out. The results obtained indicate the various forms of density function and relationships that exist between distribution parameters and moments, coefficient of variation, and coefficient of skewness.
