Standard Precipitation Index (SPI)

Description

Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) quantifies observed precipitation as a standardized departure from a selected probability distribution function that models the raw precipitation data. The raw precipitation data are typically fitted to a gamma or a Pearson Type III distribution, and then transformed to a normal distribution.
