How to fill a table (pandas DataFrame) with rainfall intensity values, extracted from idf equation:
import pandas as pd
durs = [5,10,15,20,30,60,120,180,360,540,720,1440] # rainfall durations
rps=[5,10,25,50,100] # return periods
t1 = pd.DataFrame(index=rps,columns=durs) # initialize DataFrame with rp's and durations
cf = [942.76,.1242,17.0,.650] #example idf equation coefficients
table = t1.apply(lambda x: (cf[0]*x.index**cf[1])/((x.name+cf[2])**cf[3]))
