Extremes, risk, climate and environment seminars
This seminars series is dealing with the topic of the mathematics applied to extremes, risk, climate and environment. As one aim of this seminar series is to openly cross-pollinate research on extreme values, the organizers also welcome suggestions of speakers from anyone. So, feel free to drop names suggestions to the organizers.
The seminar will take place at the Jussieu campus of Sorbonne University or at the LSCE of Universite Paris Saclay and on Zoom with permanent link, pwd ERCE2022 (temporary Zoom link for May 10 Albrecher's talk below).
- May 30 14h-15h, A. Bücher (Universität Düsseldorf), 1516-201 at Jussieu,
Title : On the Sliding Block Maxima Method in Extreme Value Statistics
Abstract : The core of the classical
block maxima method in (multivariate) extreme value
statistics consists of fitting an extreme value distribution
to a sample of maxima over blocks extracted from an
underlying time series. Traditionally the maxima are taken
over disjoint blocks of observations of a fixed size.
Alternatively the blocks can be chosen to slide through the
observation period in an overlapping way yielding a larger
number of blocks. We consider respective estimation methods
and show that they are asymptotically more efficient than
competing estimators based on disjoint blocks.
