Weibull AFT Model Fits Well but Schoenfeld Residuals in Cox Model Indicate PH Violation—Why the Contradiction?
I'm analyzing a survival dataset with about 50% right-censored observations(censored(1515) - event happened(1481)) using R’s survival package and have encountered a puzzling scenario. I fitted both a ...

Why does GEV fit sometimes not fit the tails well?
I am performing a generalized extreme value analysis using about 20 years of data sampled every 1 minute. I am doing this in order to predict return levels at e.g. 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 intervals. The ...

How to get 1-in-100 return period from GEV when using a block length shorter than a year?
I am computing the Generalized Extreme Value distribution for a dataset containing about 15 years of data sampled every 5 seconds. I want to estimate the 1-in-50 or 1-in-100 year return level from the ...

What type of distribution is this? Log-normal, Weibull, Gamma, or something else? [closed]
I am trying to test this against various similar looking distributions to find the one which fits best or is least likely to match by random chance. These look log normal, but my attempts to convert ...
