Density of near-extreme events [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2007
We provide a quantitative analysis of the phenomenon of crowding of near-extreme events by computing exactly the density of states (DOS) near the maximum of a set of independent and identically distributed random variables.

Deep learning rainfall-runoff predictions of extreme events

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021
. The most accurate rainfall-runoff predictions are currently based on deep learning. There is a concern among hydrologists that data-driven models based on deep learning may not be reliable in extrapolation or for predicting extreme events.

Climate change, not human population growth, correlates with Late Quaternary megafauna declines in North America

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
There are a number of competing explanations for the late Pleistocene extinction of many North American megafauna species. Here, the authors apply a Bayesian regression approach that finds greater concordance between megafaunal declines and climate ...
