Records in Athletics Through Extreme-Value Theory [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006 In this paper we shall be interested in two questions on extremes relating to world records in athletics.The first question is: what is the ultimate world record in a specific athletics event (such as the 100m for men or the high jump for women), given today's state of the art?Our second question is: how `good' is a current athletics world record?An ...

Applications of extreme-value theory in corrosion engineering
Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 1994 In the context of corrosion engineering it is often natural to be concerned with extreme events. This is because, firstly, it is these extreme events that often lead to failure and, secondly, it may only be possible to measure the extremes, with much of the underlying measurements by their very nature unobservable Statistical methods relating to ...

On Optimization and Extreme Value Theory [PDF]
Methodology And Computing In Applied Probability, 2003 A stochastic optimiser is an algorithm ruled by probabilistic procedures which aims at finding the optimum point of an objective function. The authors study the fit of the optimization outcomes to an extreme value distribution and suggest that the parameters of that distribution characterize the performance of the optimiser.
