A Note on the Possible Misuse of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For univariate or one-dimensional distributions the standard tables used for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test are valid when testing whether a set of observations are from a completely specified distribution. If one or more ...
Computations from Elliptical Wind Distribution Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A knowledge of winds and their distribution may be used to our advantage, for winds play an important part in all phases of our life. Winds are three dimensional but for most purposes they are considered only in their two ...
Determination of Statistics for any Rotation of Axes of a Bivariate Normal Elliptical Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transformation of statistics from a dimensional set to another dimensional set involves linear functions of the original set of statistics. Similarly, linear functions will transform statistics within a dimensional set ...
Another Look at the Upper Winds of the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In any study, the collection, processing and storage of data are important. Whether the data are clean, biased or contaminated is also important. Pollution or adulteration of data confuse the investigator. Data do not ...
Tropical Cyclone Forecast Errors and the Multimodal Bivariate Normal Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on the use of the bivariate normal distribution model to describe spatial distributions of tropical cyclone forecast errors. In this connection, it is found that forecast errors from the entire Atlantic ...
Maximum Rainfall from Tropical Cyclone Systems which Cross the Appalachians
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of a statistical study of maximum measured rainfall amounts of tropical cyclone systems whose paths cross the Appalachian Mountains an presented. The study includes storms from 1900 through 1969 and considers ...
