RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to identify the probability distribution of variable particle size in forages grasses and to do a sample dimension. For this was carried out an exploratory analysis of the data obtained from the experiment planned in randomized blocks. Each sample of the overall data was adjusted to Normal, Gama, Beta and Weibull distributions. Tests of adhesion not parametric of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Lilliefos, Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling were conducted to indicate the adjustment at the distributions. The estimate of the value of the logarithm of function of maximum likelihood is indicative of distribution that better describes the data set, as well as information criteria of Akaike (AIC) and Bayesian information (BIC). Simulations from parameters obtained were made and tests not parametric to assess the t with dierent sizes of samples were made too. It was found that data are not normal, because have asymmetry in the histograms, better described by Beta and Weibull distributions. Tests showed that Gamma, Beta and Weibull distributions, have a ts better for the data; for the highest value in the logarithm of the likelihood function as well as smaller AIC and BIC, best t was forWeibull distribution. Simulations showed that with 2 and 4 sizes (n), with 10 repeat each one, the Gama and Weibull distributions showed good t to data, as the proportion in which n grows, distribution of data tends to normality. Dimensioning by simple random sample (ASA), showed that 6 is a sucient sample size to describe probability distribution for particle size in forage grasses.
