NatureWILL you pardon me for asking a question which probably I ought to be able to answer myself? Mr. Corfield, in his interesting comparison of the hygienic performances of the ancients and ourselves, mentions the well-known Cloaca Maxima as one of the great glories of the Romans. Can he tell us how they got the sewage into it?

Maxima and near-maxima of a Gaussian random assignment field [PDF]
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2021 The assumption that the elements of the cost matrix in the classical assignment problem are drawn independently from a standard Gaussian distribution motivates the study of a particular Gaussian field indexed by the symmetric permutation group. The correlation structure of the field is determined by the Hamming distance between two permutations.

Multivariate maxima of moving multivariate maxima [PDF]
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2012 We define a class of multivariate maxima of moving multivariate maxima, generalising the M4 processes. For these stationary multivariate time series we characterise the joint distribution of extremes and compute the multivariate extremal index. We derive the bivariate upper tail dependence coefficients and the extremal coefficient of the new limiting ...

The MAXIMA and MAXIPOL experiments [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2002 MAXIMA is a balloon-based bolometric experiment to measure the temperature anisotropy of the CMB over spatial frequency range 36⩽l⩽1235. The MAXIMA-1 flight produced a 124 square degree temperature anisotropy map with a beam diameter of 10 arcmin. These data have been used to produce a power spectrum which is in excellent agreement with data from ...

New extreme value theory for maxima of maxima
Statistical Theory and Related Fields, 2020 Although advanced statistical models have been proposed to fit complex data better, the advances of science and technology have generated more complex data, e.g., Big Data, in which existing probability theory and statistical models find their limitations.

On the distribution of maxima of martingales [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1978 Partial order the set of distributions on the real line by ν ⩽ ν ′ \nu \leqslant \nu ’ if ν ( x , ∞ ) ⩽ ν ′ ( x , ∞ ) \nu (x,\infty ) \leqslant \nu ’(x,\infty ...

The behavior of multivariate maxima of moving maxima processes
Journal of Applied Probability, 2004 In the characterization of multivariate extremal indices of multivariate stationary processes, multivariate maxima of moving maxima processes, or M4 processes for short, have been introduced by Smith and Weissman. Central to the introduction of M4 processes is that the extreme observations of multivariate stationary processes may be characterized in ...

Smoothing of Samples for Maxima [PDF]
The Annals of Statistics, 1978 Smoothing of data by averaging is suggested in order to study the maximum. The maximum of the smoothed data is approximated by that of a Gaussian sample, and thus is more robust against outliers.
