Statistics of Extremes in Athletics

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2011
TV shows on any athletic event make clear that those who want gold medals cannot dispense statistics. And the statistics more appealing to champions and coachers are the extreme order statistics, and in particular maximum (or minimum) values and records.

A Markov chain method for weighting climate model ensembles [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2021
Climate change is typically modeled using sophisticated mathematical models (climate models) of physical processes that range in temporal and spatial scales.

Statistics of Heteroscedastic Extremes [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
SummaryWe extend classical extreme value theory to non-identically distributed observations. When the tails of the distribution are proportional much of extreme value statistics remains valid. The proportionality function for the tails can be estimated non-parametrically along with the (common) extreme value index.

On the Systematic Occurrence of Compound Cold Spells in North America and Wet or Windy Extremes in Europe

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The repeated co‐occurrence of cold spells over Eastern North America and wet or windy extremes over Western Continental Europe during recent winters, has led to hypothesize a link between the two.

A new quality control method based on statistics of extremes for preventing recalls for mass production products

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Recently, recalls for mass production products such as car components have been frequently reported even for the case that the rate of defects is only of the order of ppm or less. The objective of this paper is to propose the solution to avoid the recall

Improvements in the Estimation of a Heavy Tail

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2006
In this paper, and in a context of regularly varying tails, we suggest new tail index estimators, which provide interesting alternatives to the classical Hill estimator of the tail index γ.

Modeling and simulating spatial extremes by combining extreme value theory with generative adversarial networks

open access: yesEnvironmental Data Science, 2022
Modeling dependencies between climate extremes is important for climate risk assessment, for instance when allocating emergency management funds. In statistics, multivariate extreme value theory is often used to model spatial extremes.

Statistical Modeling of Spatial Extremes

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2012
The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This article reviews recent progress in the statistical modeling of spatial extremes, starting with sketches of the necessary elements of ...
