Improved Rates of Convergence In Extreme Value Statistics Ashivni Shekhawat Miller Research Fellow Department of Materials Science and Engineering, UC Berkeley Materials Science Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Workshop on Aging and Failure in Biological, Physical and Engineered Systems Thousands of moving parts, the failure of any one of which can be catastrophic The Fate of Many Disparate Phenomena is Dictated by Rare Events Insurance Brittle Fracture Financial Markets F.A.R. Section 33.75: β¦ hazardous engine effects are predicted to occur at a rate not in excess of that defined as extremely remote (probability range of 10β7 to 10β9 per engine flight hour).... In dealing with probabilities of this low order of magnitude, absolute proof is not possible, and compliance may be shown by reliance on engineering judgmentβ¦ Predicting rare events is important! Message of this talk We can often do better than standard Extreme Value Theory Extreme Value Statistics π π₯ π β πΊπΎ π₯ β ππ = 1 β exp(β 1 + πΎπ₯ ππ β 1 πΎ) Extreme value statistics converts the estimation of rare events into a data fitting problem with three fitting parameters, namely ππ , ππ , and πΎ π π₯ π β πΊπΎ π₯ β ππ = 1 β exp(β 1 + πΎπ₯ ππ β 1 πΎ) The function πΊπΎ (β ) is called the Gumbel distribution for πΎ = 0, the Weibull distribution for πΎ > 0, and the Frechet distribution for πΎ < 0.
