The method of analyzing statistical data by means of the duration curve is discussed in a general way in this paper. The relation of the duration curve to other statistical curves is described. The computation and methods of plotting the curve are outlined, and its mathematical and graphical characteristics are explained and illustrated, followed by a description of graphical methods for using it. Examples of its application to hydro-electric power problems have been included and worked out in detail. The paper concludes with a brief historical review.
