Statistics of extremes for natural hazards: landslides and earthquakes

arXiv:2404.09156

Abstract

In this chapter, we illustrate the use of split bulk-tail models and subasymptotic models motivated by extreme-value theory in the context of hazard assessment for earthquake-induced landslides. A spatial joint areal model is presented for modeling both landslides counts and landslide sizes, paying particular attention to extreme landslides, which are the most devastating ones.
