Intense precipitation events are commonly known to be associated with an increased risk of flooding. As a result of the societal and infrastructural risks linked with flooding, extremes of precipitation require careful modeling. Extreme value analysis is typically used to model large precipitation events, although an independent analysis of neighboring sites can produce very different estimates of...
Heatwaves are defined as a set of hot days and nights that cause a marked short-term increase in mortality. Obtaining accurate estimates of the probability of an event lasting many days is important. Previous studies of temporal dependence of extremes have assumed either a first-order Markov model or a particularly strong form of extremal dependence, known as asymptotic dependence. Neither of these...
Heatwaves are phenomena that have large social and economic consequences. Understanding and estimating the frequency of such events are of great importance to climate scientists and decision makers. Heatwaves are a type of extreme event which are by definition rare and as such there are few data in the historical record to help planners. Extreme value theory is a general framework from which inference...
