Over Constraining of GEV Optimization #48

Open ShaneMPutnam opened 4 years ago

When fitting the GEV to the NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation data and to the flow frequency curve in hydromet_stratified.py, for the bounds, could the loc/mu be greater than the average precipitation? It seems like this optimization may be over-constrained. @Mark-S-Bartlett recommends also revisiting.
