Weibull Distribution, Iterative Likelihood Techniques and Hydrometeorological DataSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1977:;volume( 016 ):;issue: 012::page 1360Author:Wong, Raymond K. W.
DOI: 10.1175/1520-0450(1977)016<1360:WDILTA>2.0.CO;2Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapidly converging maximum likelihood procedures for estimating and testing Weibull distribution parameters are presented, together with numerical examples of their applications. Goodness-of-fit comparisons based on nine sets of meteorological or hydrological data were made among the gamma, lognormal, three-parameter kappa and Weibull distributions. The Weibull distribution is shown to be a reasonable alternative to the other three distributions.
