The article compares different versions of the Gumbel extreme value distribution to find ones that are more flexible and competitive with the generalized extreme value distribution. The researchers looked at wind speed data and simulations to see which distributions worked best. They found that some distributions were too complex and overlapped with simpler versions, while the generalized extreme value distribution and a mix of two extreme value distributions were the most practical choices.
