Showing 1 results for Maximal Generalized Extreme Value Distribution
Farnoosh Ashoori, Malihe Ebrahimpour, Abolghasem Bozorgnia, Volume 9, Issue 2 (2-2016)
Abstract
Distribution of extreme values of a data set is especially used in natural phenomena including flow discharge, wind speeds, precipitation and it is also used in many other applied sciences such as reliability studies and analysis of environmental extreme events. So if one can model the extremal behavior, then the manner of their future behavior can be predicted. This article is devoted to study extreme wind speeds in Zahedan city using maximal generalized extreme value distribution. In this article, we apply four methods to estimate distribution parameters including maximum likelihood estimation, probability weighted moments, elemental percentile and quantile least squares then compare estimates by average scaled absolute error criterion. We also obtain quantiles estimation and confidence intervals. As a part of result, return period of maximum wind speeds are computed.
