Abstract:The most appropriate probability distribution for rainfall data varies from one region to the other. The need to research the best distribution for different locations is thus a continuous process. This research was designed to investigate rainfall variability and the best-t distribution model for monthly rainfall in Oke Ogun, the agricultural hub of Oyo state, Nigeria. Thirty-six years ' rainfall data (1982-2017) were statistically analysed and tted to ten different probability distributions for each calenda… Show more
