Advances in statistical modeling of spatial extremes

R Huser, JL Wadsworth - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The classical modeling of spatial extremes relies on asymptotic models (ie, max‐stable or r‐
Pareto processes) for block maxima or peaks over high thresholds, respectively. However, at …

Sparse structures for multivariate extremes

S Engelke, J Ivanovs - Annual Review of Statistics and Its …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Extreme value statistics provides accurate estimates for the small occurrence probabilities of
rare events. While theory and statistical tools for univariate extremes are well developed …

Graphical models for extremes

S Engelke, AS Hitz - Journal of the Royal Statistical Society …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Conditional independence, graphical models and sparsity are key notions for parsimonious

Vecchia likelihood approximation for accurate and fast inference with intractable spatial max-stable models

R Huser, ML Stein, P Zhong - Journal of Computational and …, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Max-stable processes are the most popular models for high-impact spatial extreme events,
as they arise as the only possible limits of spatially-indexed block maxima. However …
