Weibull distribution and its application on wind speed data
Abstract
In this project we discuss several methods of
estimation of the parameters of the three-parameter
Weibull distribution. It has been found that the Weibull
distribution gives the best results in characterising
surface wind speed distributions. From the wind speed
data obtained from Embakasi near Nairobi, we find that
the maximum likelihood method of estimation gives the
best results
