Threshold selection in univariate extreme value analysis [PDF]
Extremes, 2021 AbstractThreshold selection plays a key role in various aspects of statistical inference of rare events. In this work, two new threshold selection methods are introduced. The first approach measures the fit of the exponential approximation above a threshold and achieves good performance in small samples.

Extreme-value analysis of wave heights
Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 1994 This paper discusses the most common problems associated with the determination of design wave heights. It analyzes two common methods used in fitting wave data and shows some of the stability or inconsistency problems associated with commonly used distributions.

The probability of unprecedented high rainfall in wine regions of northern Portugal
Climate Services, 2023 Climate is arguably one of the most important factors determining the quality of wine from any given grapevine variety. This study focuses on three wine-growing regions in northern Portugal: Vinho Verde, Trás-os-Montes and Douro, the latter coinciding ...

Regression-type analysis for multivariate extreme values [PDF]
Extremes, 2022 Abstract This paper devises a regression-type model for the situation where both the response and covariates are extreme. The proposed approach is designed for the setting where the response and covariates are modeled as multivariate extreme values, and thus contrarily to standard regression methods it takes into account the key fact ...

An improved method of extreme value analysis
Journal of Hydrology X, 2019 An improved method to estimate the probability of extreme events from independent observations is presented. The method, called VWLS, is based on minimizing the variance of order-ranked observations plotted according to their true probability and ...

The Global Wind Resource Observed by Scatterometer
Remote Sensing, 2020 A 27-year-long calibrated multi-mission scatterometer data set is used to determine the global basin-scale and near-coastal wind resource. In addition to mean and percentile values, the analysis also determines the global values of both 50- and 100-year ...

Coasts, 2023 This paper provides an Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) of the hourly still water level (SWL) record at Key West, Florida dating back to 1913 to understand the statistical likelihood of the combination of high predicted tides and the more dynamic influences (

Mathematics, 2023 In many applications, interest focuses on assessing relationships between covariates and the extremes of the distribution of a continuous response. For example, in climate studies, a usual approach to assess climate change has been based on the analysis ...

Impact of ASOS Real-Time Quality Control on Convective Gust Extremes in the USA
Meteorology, 2023 Most damage to buildings across the contiguous United States, in terms of number and total cost, is caused by gusts in convective events associated with thunderstorms. Their assessment relies on the integrity of meteorological observations.
