| dc.description.abstract | Three computer programs which were written to aid the statistical analysis of hailfall data are discussed. Gamma distribution parameters of raw data, scale changed, and non-scale changed data are determined by the first program. The goodness of fit is determined in the second program using a chi square test. The last program performs a sequential analysis test on data as it is collected. This is done by assuming certain Type I and Type II errors and testing various scale and non-scale changes of the data. Square root of the dents, cube root of the dents, and logarithm of the indicator energy numbers (hail fall data) were analyzed using these programs. The results of these tests and detailed notes on each program are presented. | |
