ABSTRACT
An application for Generalized Logistic Distribution (GLD) estimation by Probability Weighted Moments (PWM) was made on 24-hours maximum rainfall events recorded for different cities of Pakistan to Faisalabad, Mianwali, Khanpur, Khushab, Murree, Bhawalpur, Jehlum, Islamabad and Sialkot. The goodness of fit of GLD estimated by PWM method was examined by Anderson Darlings g Statistics. The hypothesis of GLD as the assumed distribution was accepted for every city.
