  1. 1. Traffic safety analysis by surrogate measures:an extreme value approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Heidi Mach; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Road safety analyses are required for the prevention of road accident fatalities. In Europe, the ambition is "Vision Zero". Data that was used is collected by the research group Transport and Roads which is part of Department of Technology and Society at LTH, Lund University. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Regional Rainfall Frequency Analysis

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Statistiska institutionen; Stockholms universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Olov Rudberg; Daniel Bezaatpour; [2020]
    Keywords : Statistics; Frequency Analysis; Probability Theory; Prediction Models; L-Moments; L-Moments Algorithm;

    Abstract : Frequency analysis is a vital tool when nding a well-suited probability distributionin order to predict extreme rainfall. The regional frequency approach have beenused for determination of homogeneous regions, using 11 sites in Skane, Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 4. Trends in Flooding in Europe and North America - an Extreme Value Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Axel Ström; [2018]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This study examines minimally altered catchments in Europe and North America in order to determine whether any changes to the dynamics of flooding have occurred due to changes in the climate. By examining the parameters of the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions of in- dividual catchments it is possible to determine not just if changes in flood patterns have occurred, but also the nature of these changes.

  6. 5. Trends in Flooding in Europe and North America - an Extreme Value Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Axel Ström; [2018]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This study examines minimally altered catchments in Europe and North America in order to determine whether any changes to the dynamics of flooding have occurred due to changes in the climate. By examining the parameters of the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions of individual catchments it is possible to determine not just if changes in flood patterns have occurred, but also the nature of these changes.
