Line 81:

With the binomial distribution one can obtain a [[confidence interval]] of the prediction. Such an interval also estimates the risk of failure, i.e. the chance that the predicted event still remains outside the confidence interval. The confidence or risk analysis may include the [[return period]] ''T=1/Pe'' as is done in [[hydrology]].
