In selecting the best-fit distribution model for the rainfall event characteristics based on the inter-event time definition (IETD) of 6 hours for the selected rainfall in the Peninsular of Malaysia, seven distributions were utilized namely the beta (B4), exponential (EX1), gamma (G2), generalized e...
