Hi! I'm a student working on a thesis regarding wind energy assessment using weibull distribution. Could anyone tell me how to determine the shape and scale parameter for graphical and statistical method? In graphical method, how do we determine the median rank so that we can plot the weibull graph with the available wind speeds and its frequencies? Thanks... http://63.227.80.170/discus/clipart/happy.gif

Well, we want you to do your own work, dear student, so all we will do is point you in the right direction.

There is a reference on the website www.weibull.com that will answer your questions -- see http://www.weibull.com/lifedatawebcontents.htm.

Good luck.
