Extreme Rainfall Distribution Estimation with Python (as a scripting language)

This post collects the Notebook used in my classes of Hydraulic Constructions and Hydrology for estimating the IDF curves. It is actually a work in progress.

For who wants to start with Python (for hydrologists), I suggest to give a look to my blog post Python general resources. 

Below my own resources.

0 - A smooth introduction to Python scripting

1 - Reading a data file and looking inside it

2 - Reading a new file csv file and storing the data in a pandas DataFrame

3 - Estimating the parameters of a Gumbel distribution with

• moments method
• maximum likelihood
• minimum squares

4 - Pearson's Test

5 - Fitting the curves (some error here)

     Fitting the curves 

6 - Estimating pipes diameters

7 - Reading and plotting a Raster ASCII File (and its statistics)

Data:

Paperopoli 2
Paperopoli 4

For who wants to do the same numerics with R, she should look "A few R scripts useful for hydrologists".
