[ncl-talk] function extval_gumbel parameters

[Dennis Shea]

NCL is not a statistics forum. I think you should do a WWW search for this
type of information.
Note: The "center" is also called the "location" parameter.

Search: Gumbel distribution: scale, center, location

NCL's Application page provides some information:
     http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/extreme_value.shtml
Please read.

From: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda364.htm

"For the normal distribution, the location and scale parameters correspond
to the mean and standard deviation, respectively. However, this is not
necessarily true for other distributions. In fact, it is not true for most
distributions."
