Abstract

We study the daily precipitation in the municipality of Campina Grande, estimating the parameters of Gamma, Log-Normal, and Weibull distributions. To evaluate the parameter estimators, we compared the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) versus Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) to analyze and understand the behaviour of the daily precipitation in Campina Grande. In most cases, our results show evidence that the PSO algorithm is an efficient and robust technique. Notwithstanding, the algorithm also presents an efficient parameter estimation due to its fast convergence.
