Modelling Extreme Temperature in Malaysia Using Generalized Extreme Value Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Extreme temperature of several stations in Malaysia is modelled by fitting the monthly maximum to the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test suggests a non-stationary model. Two models are considered for stations with trend and the Likelihood Ratio test is used to determine the best-fitting model. Results show that half of the stations favour a model which is linear for the location parameters. The return level is the level of events (maximum temperature) which is expected to be exceeded once, on average, in a given number of years, is obtained. Keywords—Extreme temperature, extreme value, return level.

Probability Estimates of Extreme Temperature Events: Stochastic Modelling Approach vs. Extreme Value Distributions
The paper deals with the probability estimates of temperature extremes (annual temperature maxima and heat waves) in the Czech Republic. Two statistical methods of probability estimations are compared; one based on the stochastic modelling of time series of the daily maximum temperature (TMAX) using the first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) model, the other consisting in fitting the extreme value ...
متن کاملLarge Modelling of Extremal Events
Modelling of Extremal Events (published by Springer) by Embrechts, Kluppelberg and Mikosch is truly a godsend. Coverage of the major topics related to extreme value theory is done in such a way that I was inspired to implement many of their various modeling techniques. The topics they cover include Brownian motion, domains of attraction, the generalized extreme value distribution, order statist...
متن کاملEstimation for the Type-II Extreme Value Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring
In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...
متن کاملEstimating the Tails of Loss Severity Distributions using Extreme Value Theory
Good estimates for the tails of loss severity distributions are essential for pricing or positioning high-excess loss layers in reinsurance. We describe parametric curvetting methods for modelling extreme historical losses. These methods revolve around the generalized Pareto distribution and are supported by extreme value theory. We summarize relevant theoretical results and provide an extensiv...

The aim of this study is to investigate the trend of spatial and temporal changes in the future extreme temperature of Iran. The data used include daily data of minimum temperature and maximum temperature of CCSM4 model during the basic period of 1986-2005 and the future period of 2006-2050 under scenarios of 4.5 and 8.5 in Iran. The results of studying the trend of warm and cold extreme during...
