EN Due to Hosking (1990) (J. R. Stat. Soc. Ser. B Stat. Methodol. 52, 105–124) all the values of scaled L-moments belong to the interval . We prove that 1 is actually the sharp upper bound for every scaled L-moment, and is the optimal lower bound for the odd scaled L-moments. We present a method of determining the optimal lower bounds on even scaled L-moments, which are located in . We also present sharp lower and upper bounds on the L-moments based on nonnegative samples and measured in the units being the expectations of the parent distributions.
