A MARKOV CHAIN APPROACH ON PATTERN OF RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION

A three-state Markov chain was employed to examine the pattern and distribution of daily rainfall in Uyo metropolis of Nigeria using 15 years (1995-2009) rainfall data obtained from University of Uyo meteorological centre. The Chi-square ( 2 ) and WS test statistics were used to test the goodness of
