Wind speed probabilistic distributions are one of the main wind characteristics for the evaluation of wind energy potential in a specific region.  In this paper, 3-parameter Log-Logistic distribution is introduced and it compared with six used statistical models for the modeling the actual wind speed data reported of Tabriz and Orumiyeh stations in Iran. The maximum likelihood estimators method via Nelder–Mead algorithm is utilized for estimating the model parameters. The flexibility of proposed distributions is measured according to the coefficient of determination, Chi-square test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and root mean square error criterion. Results of the analysis show that 3-parameter Log-Logistic distribution provides the best fit to model the annual and seasonal wind speed data in Orumiyeh station and except summer season for Tabriz station. Also, wind power density error is estimated for the proposed different distributions.

The prevalence of high-dimensional datasets has driven increased utilization of the penalized likelihood methods. However, when the number of observations is relatively few compared to the number of covariates, each observation can tremendously influence model selection and inference. Therefore, identifying and assessing influential observations is vital in penalized methods. This article reviews measures of influence for detecting influential observations in high-dimensional lasso regression and has recently been introduced. Then, these measures under the elastic net method, which combines removing from lasso and reducing the ridge coefficients to improve the model predictions, are investigated. Through simulation and real datasets, illustrate that introduced influence measures effectively identify influential observations and can help reveal otherwise hidden relationships in the data.
