| Summary: | The wind energy potential at Ikeja (Lat. 6.35 N; Long. 3.20 E), Nigeria was statistically analyzed using three of the mostly utilized conventional Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs) in order to determine which of these distributions would give the best means of analysis for wind in this particular location. The best fit test for these PDFs were determined from Akaike Information Criteria, Bayesian Information Criteria, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Cramer-von Mises statistics, Anderson-Darling Statistic, Mean Square Error and Chi-Square Test using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Method of Moments as parameter estimates. The Weibull distribution gave the best fit in this location.
