I've been trying to use scipy.stats.genextreme to fit my data to the generalized extreme value distribution. I've tried all of the methods that I could find, but I don't know why it won't fit the data.
I've tried both these methods:
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from scipy.stats import genextreme as gev
dataN = [0.0, 0.0, 0.122194513716, 0.224438902743, 0.239401496259, 0.152119700748,
0.127182044888, 0.069825436409, 0.0299251870324, 0.0199501246883, 0.00997506234414,
0.00498753117207, 0.0]
t = np.linspace(1,13,13)
fit = gev.fit(dataN,loc=3)
pdf = gev.pdf(t, *fit)
plt.plot(t, pdf)
plt.plot(t, dataN, "o")
print(fit)
as well as
popt, pcov = curve_fit(gev.pdf,t, dataN)
plt.plot(t,gev.pdf(*popt),'r-')
The second method resulted in this
" ValueError: Unable to determine number of fit parameters."
Thanks for any help that you can give me!
