Abstract

In this research, we investigate probability distribution of solar radiation intensity in eastern provinces, i.e., Prachin Buri, Trat, Chon Buri, and Sa Kaeo. The probability distributions of interested are Normal, Lognormal, Weibull and Gamma distribution, including their two component mixture distribution. Anderson-Darling test and Akaike’s information criterion are applied to test the best fit of distribution to the data. The results show that the mean of solar radiation intensity of Prachin Buri, Trat and Sa Kaeo approximate to two component mixture Weibull distribution and that of Chon Buri follows two component mixture gamma distribution.               Keywords:  Mixture probability distribution, goodness of fit test, solar radiation
