I need to sample random numbers from Weibull, Gumbel and Generalized extreme value distributions. Of all of these distributions I know mean and variance. My question is: how can I determine these parameters? Is there any analytical way, or approximation (concerning the approximations, I already found this onethis one for Weibull, but it is an approximation valid for wind, that is not my case)? Otherwise, how could I do it via an iterative method?
