The bootstrap method is applied to a time series of Indian summer monsoon rainfall to determine the best fit to specific families of univariate distribution functions. The definition of an error norm provides a criterion by which a model may be selected. On this basis both the Weibull and general extreme value distributions are selected to derive return periods of extreme monsoon rainfall.
