- Abstract
The relationship between wind speed and PM is inversely proportional, indicating that higher wind speeds enhance the dispersion of PM . In other words, when the wind speed increases, especially during strong winds, it leads to improved removal of PM concentrations from the environment. The mean of the delta-Birnbaum–Saunders distribution can be used to analyze wind speed data for predicting future wind speeds. In this study, we construct generalized confidence interval (GCI), bootstrap confidence interval (BCI) and generalized fiducial confidence interval (GFCI) based on the variance estabilized transformation (VST), Wlison, and Hannig methods. The results of a Monte Carlo simulation study indicate that the coverage probabilities of the generalized confidence interval and the generalized fiducial confidence interval based on VST method are greater than or close to the nominal confidence level of 0.95 and provide the shortest averaged length. The average lengths of the proposed confidence intervals tended to decrease when the sample size increased. Wind speed data from Chiang Rai province, Thailand, was used to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed methods, the results of which were in good agreement with the simulation study findings.
