Abstract
Different procedures for choosing between Fréchet, Gumbel and Weibull models to fit data are described in the paper. The first one is the one presented by the author which using von Mises-Jenkinson unifying form, has a locally optimal behaviour at the neighbourhood of Gumbel distribution. After, approaches developed by van Montfort, van Montfort and Otten, Galambos and Gomes are described, as well as a modified use of probability paper.
