Abstract

The typical two-parameter Weibull is a flexible distribution that is useful for describing unimodal frequency distributions of wind speeds at many sites. A two-component mixture Weibull distribution (WW-probability distribution function (pdf)) is even more useful because it is additionally able to represent heterogenous wind regimes in which there is evidence of bimodality or bitangentiality or, simply, unimodality.
