On the asymptotics of discrete order statistics

TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotics of the likelihood that the sample maximum is achieved k times and in its spacing relative to the second highest value are studied. But the results are not applicable to the case of Markovian samples.

Return times of hot and cold days via recurrences and extreme value theory

TL;DR: In this article, a model evaluation and comparison metric based on the methodology introduced in Faranda et al. (Geophys Res Lett 40(21):5782-5786, 2013) to assess biases and their potential origins in a historical model simulation against long-term reanalysis is introduced.

Extreme Values, Quantile Estimation, and Value at Risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss various methods for calculating value at risk (VaR) and the statistical theories behind these methods, in particular, the extreme value theory developed in the statistical literature for studying rare (or extraordinary) events and its application to VaR.

Statistiques des valeurs extrêmes dans le cas de lois discrètes

TL;DR: A method to generate a warning system for the early detection of time clusters in discrete time series using an approximation of the return period of an extreme event independently of the nature of the data is proposed.
