Hazard event sets, a collection of synthetic extreme events over given period, are important for catastrophe modelling. This paper addresses the issue generating sets river flow northern England and southern Scotland, region which has been particularly affected by severe flooding past 20 years. We start analysing historical across 45 gauges, located within study region, using methods from value...

In this paper we review existing methods for robust functional principal component analysis (FPCA) and propose a new method FPCA that can be applied to longitudinal data where only few observations per trajectory are available. This is against the presence of atypical observations, also used derive non-robust approach sparsely observed data. We use local regression estimate values covariance fu...
