Explores extreme values in random variables, applications in environmental factors, reliability modeling, block maxima distribution, and the Generalized Extreme Value distribution.
Covers methods to define the design storm, empirical distribution of rainfall maxima, Gumbel distribution, and intensity-duration-frequency relationships.
Explores the extremal index and its impact on extreme events in stationary processes, along with the D'(u) condition for short-range dependence modeling.
Covers extremal limit theorems, basic statistical analysis, and applications to multivariate extremes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the distribution of maxima.
