In this assignment, I work with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). More specifically, I look at the Gamma distribution and calculate the score functions of its two parameters. I use these score functions to apply the MLE to estimating these parameters. I also look at the method of moments estimation (MME) and compare its findings with that of the MLE.

This R Markdown analysis explores seasonal differences in water quality and hydrological conditions in two urban canals in Miami—Coral Gables Canal and Little River. The workflow integrates buoy sensor data, discharge records from SFWMD DBHYDRO, and precipitation data, applies basic data cleaning and seasonal classification (wet vs. dry), and uses principal component analysis (PCA) to evaluate how key biogeochemical variables—such as fDOM, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll-a, and discharge—interact across seasons. Seasonal differences in the PCA structure are further evaluated using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn post-hoc tests, allowing assessment of how hydrological seasonality influences water quality dynamics in these coastal urban canal systems.
