Mixture Distribution Fitting and Modeling for Regional Frequency Analysis of Maximum Wind Speed Over South Korea

초록

In this study, we tried to determine and investigate meteorologically homogeneous regions and to derive regional wind frequency estimates for 68 gauged sites in South Korea using an index wind method with L-moments and harmony search parameter estimation. Comparative regional wind frequency estimates were made for the tested region using various distributions, namely the Generalized Logistic (GLOG), General Extreme Value (GEV), Generalized Pareto (GPAR), Weibull. Furthermore, we applied three types of twocomponent mixture distributions, built by combination of Gumbel and Gamma distributions with five-parameters such as Gumbel-Gumbel (GumGum) ,Gamma-Gamma (GamGam), and Gamma-Gumbel (GamGum) distribution models. Their parameters are estimated by harmony search method (HS). The results of the current study showed that the Weibull distribution is identified as the bestfit distribution in Korea. In other words, Weibull as a suitable distribution with three parameters for other Korean stations.
