Abstract
SUMMARY: A probabilistic model of daily rainfall can be used to derive results of potential value to agriculture. A simple example shows how this model works, but more realistic models are also fitted, using standard statistical computer packages, and examples of the results are presented graphically. The modelling approach is compared and contrasted with direct methods of analysing daily rainfall.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
