Forecasting: theory and practice
Fotios Petropoulos, Daniele Apiletti, Vassilios Assimakopoulos +77
Forecasting has always been at the forefront of decision making and planning. The uncertainty that surrounds the future is both exciting and challenging, with individuals and organ…
L-moments for automatic threshold selection in extreme value analysis
Jessica Silva Lomba, Maria Isabel Fraga Alves
In extreme value analysis, sensitivity of inference to the definition of extreme event is a paramount issue. Under the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach, this translates directly…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
A general estimator for the right endpoint - with an application to supercentenarian women's records
Isabel Fraga Alves, Cláudia Neves, Pedro Rosário
We extend the setting of the right endpoint estimator introduced in Fraga Alves and Neves (Statist. Sinica 24:1811--1835, 2014) to the broader class of light-tailed distributions w…
Estimation of the finite right endpoint in the Gumbel domain
Isabel Fraga Alves, Cláudia Neves
A simple estimator for the finite right endpoint of a distribution function in the Gumbel max-domain of attraction is proposed. Large sample properties such as consistency and the…
Enhancing the selection of a model-based clustering with external qualitative variables
Jean-Patrick Baudry, Margarida Cardoso, Gilles Celeux +2
In cluster analysis, it can be useful to interpret the partition built from the data in the light of external categorical variables which were not directly involved to cluster the…
The generalized Pareto process; with a view towards application and simulation
Ana Ferreira, Laurens de Haan
In extreme value statistics, the peaks-over-threshold method is widely used. The method is based on the generalized Pareto distribution characterizing probabilities of exceedances…
G0.253+0.016: a molecular cloud progenitor of an Arches-like cluster
Steven N. Longmore, Jill Rathborne, Nate Bastian +20
Young massive clusters (YMCs) with stellar masses of 10^4 - 10^5 Msun and core stellar densities of 10^4 - 10^5 stars per cubic pc are thought to be the `missing link' between open…
On tail trend detection: modeling relative risk
Laurens de Haan, Albert Klein Tank, Cláudia Neves
The climate change dispute is about changes over time of environmental characteristics (such as rainfall). Some people say that a possible change is not so much in the mean but rat…
