Finally, via the large sample inference of likelihood ratios, a model selection criterion can be established to identify the appropriate model for the modeling of daily precipitation amounts from the MGW distribution framework. During precipitation events involving ice, hail, or snow, the rain gauges used by. Daily rainfall amounts are recorded as of 8am for the previous 24 hours. The mixed Gamma Weibull (MGW) distribution serves this purpose because all the commonly used probability distributions are special cases of the MGW distribution, and the MGW distribution integrates all the commonly used probability distributions into one framework. the exponential, Gamma, Weibull, and mixed exponential distributions.
