1. 21. An extreme value approach to modelling number of causalities in earthquakes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Henrik Steneld; [2021]
   Keywords : Extreme Value Theory; Point Process; Earthquakes; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Earthquakes occur around the globe all the time. Most are weak enough to just pass by, some are strong enough to be felt by us humans, and some very few are completely devastating. A comprehensive database distributed by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information provides a means for reviewing devastating earthquakes over the past. READ MORE

3. 22. Extreme value modeling of wind effect on dune erosion on the Coast of ̈Angelholm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Lionel Arpin-Pont; [2020]
   Keywords : Erosion; Wind speed; Extreme value theory; Block maxima; Peaks over threshold; Copula; Husler-Reiss; Dependence function.; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The movement of the coast line, due to erosion in one direction or aggregation in theother is a natural process as waves, wind as well as the geological nature of the coast itselfare affecting it. Sand dunes are the main protection coasts have at their disposal againstfloods during storm surges or from more passive but long range rainfalls. READ MORE

4. 23. Analysis and Simulation Study of Stochastic Time-To-Collision as a Severity Measure in Traffic Security

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Per Niklas Benzler Waaler; [2020]
   Keywords : time; collision; ttc; stochastic; probability; transform; transformation; traffic; data; under; estimation; post; encroachment; mixture; distribution; simulation; study; encounter; conflict; trajectory; prediction; road; user; safety; severity; surrogate; measure; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Traffic accidents are extremely rare, creating the need for surrogate methods for safety analysis that makes efficient use of the information provided by traffic conflicts, which also are limited in availability. The severity measure time-to-collision (TTC) in combination with extreme value theory have so far been one of the primary measures used to infer traffic safety levels, but it relies on unrealistic assumptions that results in severity measures that do not always agree well with observed danger.

5. 24. A comparative study of VaR and ES using extreme value theory

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Klara Andersson; [2020]
   Keywords : extreme value theory; block maxima; peaks-over-threshold; backtesting; value-at-risk; expected shortfall; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Using data from OMXS30, we study which of the models block maxima and peaks-over-threshold, based on extreme value theory, are the most accurate when estimating the risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. To perform this analysis, the risk measures are backtested. READ MORE

6. 25. An Extreme Value Approach to Age Limit Analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Christ-Roi Musonere; [2020]
   Keywords : World s Oldest Person Titleholders; Extreme Value Theory; Generalized Extreme Value Distribution; Generalized Pareto Distribution; Non-Stationary GEV Model; Survival Analysis.; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : A fundamental question in aging research is if the human lifespan has reached its maximum, as it has practical implications and affects the sustainability of our societies and health care systems. This thesis uses methods and techniques from extreme value theory to study human lifespan at extreme age, in particular the age at death of the world’s oldest person (WOP) titleholders. READ MORE
