Apriorist self-interest: How it embraces altruism and is not vacuous [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This essay is part of an attempt to reconcile two extreme views in economics: the (neglected) subjective, apriorist approach and the (standard) objective, scientific (i.e., falsifiable) approach.

Testing Conditions and Estimating Parameters in Extreme Value Theory

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2019
Extreme Value Theory has been asserting itself as one of the most important statistical theories for the applied sciences providing a solid theoretical basis for deriving statistical models describing extreme or even rare events.

Analysis of Extreme Wind Pressure Based on Extreme Value Distribution Theory

open access: yesAtmosphere
When extreme wind pressure is predicted based on the extreme value distribution theory, the sampling time–distance and sample volume of wind pressure data are important influencing factors. To discuss and analyze the influence of time–distance and sample

Extreme value laws in dynamical systems under physical observables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Extreme value theory for chaotic dynamical systems is a rapidly expanding area of research. Given a system and a real function (observable) defined on its phase space, extreme value theory studies the limit probabilistic laws obeyed by large values ...

On Optimization and Extreme Value Theory [PDF]

open access: yesMethodology 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.
