discussion, regional homogeneityAbstract
The authors (Ramírez and Arellano-Lara, 2010) have presented the original theoretical version of the test that allows verification of regional homogeneity for floods or maximum floods, known as the Langbein test. In addition, they make a correction or modification to the original application procedure to avoid taking into account hydrometric stations with large deviations. In view of this situation, the polemicist considers it convenient to make it known that deficiencies have been found in the original theory of the test and that its application procedure has been modified to allow for the presence of stations with large dispersion within the region, which will still be homogeneous. In addition, the test is no longer applied with a common period of data, which makes it more versatile and convenient, since it is not necessary to deduce missing values.
