✦ Synopsis


The bootstrap method is applied to a time series of Indian summer monsoon rainfall to determine the best fit to specific families of univariate distribution functions. The definition of an error norm provides a criterion by which a model may be selected. On this basis both the Weibull and general extreme value distributions are selected to derive return periods of extreme monsoon rainfall.

## Abstract The spatial and temporal variations of the monsoon rainfall over India have been studied using the subdivisional rainfall data for the years 1871–1988. North‐west India and north peninsular India are found to constitute two homogeneous regions. North‐east India does not constitute a sin
