This paper reviews and develops several statistical models for extreme values, based on threshold methodology. Extreme values of a time series are modeled in terms of tails which are defined as truncated forms of original variables, and Markov property is imposed on the tails. Tails of the generalized extreme value distribution and a multivariate extreme value distributively, of the tails of the series. These models are then applied to real ozone data series collected in the Chicago area. A major concern is given to detecting any possible trend in the extreme values.

In this study, the extreme sloshing pressure was predicted using various statistical models: three-parameter Weibull distribution, generalized Pareto distribution, generalized extreme value distribution, and three-parameter log-logistic distribution. The estimation of sloshing impact pressure is important in design of liquid cargo tank in severe sea state. In order to get the extreme values of local impact pressures, a lot of model tests have been carried out and statistical analysis has been performed. Three-parameter Weibull distribution and generalized Pareto distribution are widely used as the statistical analysis method in sloshing phenomenon, but generalized extreme value distribution and three-parameter log-logistic distribution are added in this study. Additionally, statistical distributions are fitted to peak pressure data using three different parameter estimation methods. The data were obtained from a three-dimensional sloshing model text conducted at Seoul National University. The loading conditions were 20%, 50%, and 95% of tank height, and the analysis was performed based on the measured impact pressure on four significant panels with large sloshing impacts. These fittings were compared by observing probability of exceedance diagrams and probability plot correlation coefficient test for goodness-of-fit.

Although the problems of defects and nonmetallic inclusion in metal fatigue are very complicated, it is particularly important to view these problems from the perspective that defects and inclusions are virtually equivalent to small cracks. This concept will help one to understand various fatigue phenomena caused by Ductile Cast Iron. For different ferrite-pearlite matrix structure, containing more than 90% spheroidal ratio of graphite, GCD 45-3, GCD 50, GCD 60 series and 70%, 80%, 90% spheroidal ratio of graphite, GCD 40, GCD 45-1, GCD 45-2 series, this paper has carried out image analyzer, estimated maximum and mean size of graphite, investigated correlation. It was concluded as follows. (1) A good quality of Ductile cast iron using in this experiment, the graphite was separated well. The effect of the interaction by graphite was verified by microscopic observation and by fracture mechanics investigation in surface, interior of the specimen. (2)${\sqrt{area}}_{max}$ of graphite can be used to predict fatigue limit of Ductile Cast Iron. The Statistical distribution of extreme values of ${\sqrt{area}}$ may be used as a guide line for the control of inclusion size in the steel making processes.

Unlike the traditional displacement type vessels, the high speed planing crafts are supported by the lift forces which are highly non-linear. This non-linear phenomenon causes their motions in an irregular seaway to be non-Gaussian. In general, it may not be possible to express the probability distribution of such processes by an analytical formula. Also the process might not be stationary or ergodic in which case the statistical behavior of the motion to be constantly changing with time. Therefore the extreme values of such a process can no longer be calculated using the analytical formulae applicable to Gaussian processes. Since closed form analytical solutions do not exist, recourse is taken to fitting a distribution to the data and estimating the statistical properties of the process from this fitted probability distribution. The peaks over threshold analysis and fitting of the Generalized Pareto Distribution are explored in this paper as an alternative to Weibull, Generalized Gamma and Rayleigh distributions in predicting the short term extreme value of a random process.

In this study, flood records from 79 sites across Thailand were analyzed to estimate flood indices using the regional frequency analysis based on the L-moments method. Observation sites were grouped into homogeneous regions using k-means and Ward's clustering techniques. Among various distributions evaluated, the generalized extreme value distribution emerged as the most appropriate for certain regions. Regional growth curves were subsequently established for each delineated region. Furthermore, 20- and 100-year return values were derived to illustrate the recurrence intervals of maximum rainfall across Thailand. The predicted return values tend to increase at each site, which is associated with growth curves that could describe an increasing long-term predictive pattern. The findings of this study hold significant implications for water management strategies and the design of flood mitigation structures in the country.

본 논문에서는 1998.01.03부터 2011.08.31까지 수집된 코스피 지수 자료로부터 계산된 일별 로그수익률과 일별 로그손실률에 대한 극단값 통계분석을 수행하였다. 사용된 극단값 통계분석 모형은 포아송-GPD 모형이고 모수의 추정과 극단분위수의 추정은 최대가능도 방법을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 또한 포아송-GPD 모형에 추가적으로 모수의 무정보사전분포를 가정한 베이지안 방법을 고려하였다. 여기서는 마르코프 연쇄 몬테칼로 방법을 적용하여 모수와 극단분위수를 추정하였다. 분석 결과 최대가능도 방법과 베이지안 방법에서 모두, 로그수익률 분포의 오른쪽 꼬리는 정규분포보다 짧은 반면, 로그손실률 분포의 오른쪽 꼬리는 정규분포보다 두텁다는 결론이 얻어졌다. 극단값 분석에서 베이지안 방법을 사용할 때의 장점은 정칙조건이 만족되지 않는 경우에도 최대가능도추정량의 전통적 점근 성질을 걱정할 필요가 없고 예측의 경우에는 모수의 불확실성과 미래 관측치의 불확실성이 모두 반영되는 효과가 있다는 것이다.

극단값 통계 분석의 도구로는 전통적인 연간 최대값 방법과 현대적인 분계점 방법, 그리고 분계점 방법을 개선한 변형체 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 연간 최대값 방법은 시계열자료의 연간 최대값들에 대하여 일반화극단값분포를 적합시키는 것이고, 분계점 방법은 충분히 큰 하나의 분계점을 넘어서는 초과값들의 초과여분들에 대하여 일반화파레토분포를 적합시키는 것이다. 분계점 방법의 한 변형체로서 본 논문에서는 분계점 방법에 추가적으로 초과값들의 전체 개수가 포아송분포를 따른다고 가정하는 포아송-GPD 방법을 다루고, 이를 1988.01.04부터 2009.12.31까지 수집된 서부텍사스산중질유의 현물가격 자료로부터 계산된 일일 상승율과 일일 하락율에 적용한다. 이에 따르면 일일 상승율과 일일 하락율의 분포는 정규분포와 달리 두터운 꼬리를 갖는 분포로 나타났는데, 이는 오늘날의 많은 금융 자료분석에서 나타나는 일반적인 현상과 잘 부합하는 것이다.

Statistically illiterate people seem to believe that there are some strategies for choosing winning numbers in lottery. One seemingly plausible strategy is to select the hot numbers which most frequently appeared in the past. In this article we investigate the existence of hot numbers in the Korean national lottery called Lotto. A numerical method is proposed to estimate the exact sampling distribution of test statistic for checking the existence of hot numbers among 45 possible numbers of choice.

The dynamic behaviors of the bridge structures have great effects on the comfortability and safety of running high-speed trains, which can also reflect the structural degradation. This paper aims to reveal the characteristics of the dynamic behaviors induced by train loadings for a combined highway and railway bridge. Monitoring-based analysis of the acceleration and dynamic displacement of the bridge girder is carried out. The effects of train loadings on the vertical acceleration of the bridge girder are analyzed; the spatial variability of the train-induced lateral girder displacement is studied; and statistical analysis has been performed for the daily extreme values of the train-induced girder deflections. It is revealed that there are great time and spatial variabilities for the acceleration induced by train loadings for the combined highway and railway cable-stayed bridge. The daily extreme values of the train-induced girder deflections can be well fitted by the general extreme value distribution.

본 논문에서는 최근 경주와 포항에서 심각한 피해를 주며 발생한 지진의 규모를 과거자료에 근거한 통계적 분석방법을 통해 예측하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 조선시대 역사지진 자료중에서 연단위 밀집도가 상대적으로 높은 1392~1771년의 5년 블록 최대 규모 자료를 이용하였다. 이 자료를 기반으로 일반화 극단값(generalized extreme value) 확률분포에 기초한 극단값 이론을 이용하여 조선시대 재현기간별 지진 규모 예측 및 분석을 제시하고자 한다. 일반화 극단값 분포의 모수추정을 위해 최대가능도추정법(maximum likelihood estimation, MLE)과 L-적률추정법(L-moments estimation, LME)을 사용한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 일반화 극단값 분포가 이러한 역사지진 자료에 대한 적절한 분석 모형이 될 수 있음을 적합도 검정(goodness-of-fit test)을 통해 보인다.
