Confidence Intervals for Exceedance Prob- Abilities with Application to Extreme Ship Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
• Statistical inference of a probability of exceeding a large critical value is studied in the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach. The focus is on assessing the performance of the various confidence intervals for the exceedance probability, both for the generalized Pareto distribution used above a selected threshold and in the POT setting for general distributions. The developed confidence intervals perform well in an application to extreme ship motion data. Finally, several approaches to uncertainty reduction are also considered.

Outer and Inner Confidence Intervals Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Proportional Hazard Model
Let Mi and Mi be the maximum and minimum of the ith sample from k independent sample with different sample sizes, respectively. Suppose that the survival distribution function of the ith sample is F ̄i = F ̄αi, where αi is known and positive constant. It is shown that how various exact non-parametric inferential proce- ′ dures can be developed on the basis of Mi’s and Mi ’s for distribution ...

متن کاملEffects of Far- and Near-Field Multiple Earthquakes on the RC SDOF Fragility Curves Using Different First Shock Scaling Methods
Typically, to study the effects of consecutive earthquakes, it is necessary to consider definite intensity levels of the first shock. Methods commonly used to define intensity involve scaling the first shock to a specified maximum interstorey drift. In this study the structure’s predefined elastic spectral acceleration caused by the first shock is also considered for scaling. This study aims to...
متن کاملGoutam Bagchi- Some thoughts on draft technical document & truncation Page 1 From: To: Date: Subject:
Goutam attached are some comments on the draft technical document. Included in the text is a discussion on the effect of the attenuation model random uncertainty term. I was able to analytically model a point source and show the effect of how changes in sigma change the probability of exceedance at various ground motion levels. The bottom line is that at high ground motions, the probability of ...
