The common practice to predict the characteristic structural load effects (LEs) in long reference periods is to employ the extreme value theory (EVT) for building limit distributions. However, most applications ignore that LEs are driven by multiple loading events and thus do not have the identical distribution, a prerequisite for EVT. In this study, we propose the composite extreme value modeling approach using clustering to (a) cluster initial blended samples into finite identical distributed subsamples using the finite mixture model, expectation-maximization algorithm, and the Akaike information criterion; (b) combine limit distributions of subsamples into a composite prediction equation using the generalized Pareto distribution based on a joint threshold. The proposed approach was validated both through numerical examples with known solutions and engineering applications of bridge traffic LEs on a long-span bridge. The results indicate that a joint threshold largely benefits the composite extreme value modeling, many appropriate tail approaching models can be used, and the equation form is simply the sum of the weighted models. In numerical examples, the proposed approach using clustering generated accurate extrema prediction of any reference period compared with the known solutions, whereas the common practice of employing EVT without clustering on the mixture data showed large deviations. Real-world bridge traffic LEs are driven by multi-events and present multipeak distributions, and the proposed approach is more capable of capturing the tendency of tailed LEs than the conventional approach. The proposed approach is expected to have wide applications to general problems such as samples that are driven by multiple events and that do not have the identical distribution.

The probabilistic information of directional extreme wind speeds is important for precisely estimating the design wind loads on structures. A new joint probability distribution model of directional extreme wind speeds is established based on observed wind-speed data using multivariate extreme value theory with the t-Copula function in the present study. At first, the theoretical deficiencies of the Gaussian-Copula and Gumbel-Copula models proposed by previous researchers for the joint probability distribution of directional extreme wind speeds are analysed. Then, the t-Copula model is adopted to solve this deficiency. Next, these three types of Copula models are discussed and evaluated with Spearman's rho, the parametric bootstrap test and the selection criteria based on the empirical Copula. Finally, the extreme wind speeds for a given return period are predicted by the t-Copula model with observed wind-speed records from several areas and the influence of dependence among directional extreme wind speeds on the predicted results is discussed.

투자자들은 기업가치를 평가하기 위하여 재무비율을 활용하는데 특히 PER과 PBR은 적정 기업가치를 판단하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 대표적인 수치로 알려져 있다. 금융자료는 꼬리가 매우 두터운 형태의 분포를 따르는 경우가 많은데, PER과 PBR은 첨도가 매우 높으며 해당 재무비율의 극단치들은 기업의 다양한 이해관계자들의 의사결정 시 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 통계학의 극단치이론에서 주로 활용되는 GPD와 최근 새롭게 제안된 분포인 exGPD를 도입하고, 두 분포 간의 성능을 비교하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 적합도를 살펴본 후 우측 꼬리에 속하는 90, 95, 99% 퍼센타일 값을 추정하여 실제 값과 비교한다. 다음으로 국내 증권시장에 상장된 정보기술군(IT) 기업들의 PER, PBR 자료에 근거하여 실증분석을 수행한다. 분석 결과 특히 PBR에서 exGPD가 GPD에 비해 자료의 우측 꼬리 영역을 보다 효과적으로 설명함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 재무비율에 기반한 기업가치평가 또는 위험관리 시 극단치의 특성을 효과적으로 반영할 수 있는 exGPD와 같은 분포를 활용한다면 꼬리 영역에 담긴 정보를 보다 정확하게 파악할 수 있다. 이는 기업 내부 위험관리자의 효과적인 지식경영을 돕고, 투자자를 비롯하여 다양한 외부 이해관계자들에게 유용한 지식을 제공할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : This study estimated the load effect of a single heavy truck to develop a live load model for the design and assessment of bridges located on an expressway with a limited truck entry weight. METHODS : The statistical estimation methods for the live load effect acting on a bridge by a heavy vehicle are reviewed, and applications using the actual measurement data for trucks traveling on an expressway are presented. The weight estimation of a single vehicle and its effect on a bridge are fundamental elements in the construction of a live load model. Two statistical estimation methods for the application of extrapolation in a probabilistic study and an additional estimation method that adopts the extreme value theory are reviewed. RESULTS : The proposed methods are applied to the traffic data measured on an expressway. All of the estimation methods yield similar results using the data measured when the weight limit has been relatively well observed because of the rigid enforcement of the weight regulation. On the other hand, when the estimations are made using overweight traffic data, the resulting values differ with the estimation method. CONCLUSIONS : The estimation methods based on the extreme distribution theory and the modified procedure presented in this paper can yield reasonable values for the maximum weight of a single truck, which can be applied in both the design and evaluation of a bridge on an expressway.

폭염, 폭우와 가뭄 등과 같은 이상 기후 현상에 대한 적절한 대응이 최근 많이 요구되고 있다. 이상 기후 현상을 분석하기 위해 극단값 분석 기법을 적용할 수 있는데, 본 논문은에서는 한국의 여름철 강수량 자료(1973년부터 2012년까지의 5월부터 9월)를 분계점 초과값 모형으로 분석해보았다. 분계점은 한국의 기상관측소들을 5개의 군집으로 나누어, 각 군집별로 지리 정보와 시간을 공변량으로 하는 분위수 회귀 방법을 통하여 추정하였다. Northrop과 Jonathan (2011)과 같이 극단값들이 시공간적으로 독립이라고 가정하고 분석한 후, 추정오차와 검정 과정에 공간 종속성을 반영하였다.

취성이 큰 재료의 강도는 일반적으로 정규분포 또는 와이블분포로 설명되어 왔으나 감마분포도적합할 수 있다. 재료의 파손이 가해진 응력의 연속된 값 중 가장 큰 값에 좌우된다면 극치분포를 적용하는 것이 합당하다. 본 논문에서는 재료강도가 감마분포를 따르며 극치분포하는 응력이 작용할 경우 응력-강도 간섭이론에 기반하여 신뢰도 계산식을 제시하였으며, 확률분포 파라미터별 신뢰도와 안전율 및 변동계수와의 관계를 통하여 신뢰도 계산식의 유효성을 입증하였다. 안전율과 변동계수에 기반한 신뢰도 예측방법으로 목표 신뢰도가 설정되었을 때 최소한 요구되는 안전율과 최대로 허용되는 응력의 변동계수를 예측할 수 있다.

The natural frequencies of a mechanical system are determined by the system parameters such as masses and stiffness of the system. Since material irregularities and manufacturing tolerances always exist in most of practical engineering situations, the system parameters always have uncertainties. As the uncertainties of the parameters increase, the uncertainties of the system natural frequencies also increases. Then, the reliability of the system deteriorates. So, the uncertainty of the system natural frequencies should be analyzed accurately and considered in the design of the system. In order to analyze the uncertainty of the system natural frequencies employing most of existing uncertainty analysis methods, the probability distributions of the uncertain system parameters should be identified. In most practical situations, however, identification of the probability distributions is almost impossible because of limited time and cost. For that case, the reliability should be estimated based on finite samples of the system parameters. In this paper, sample based reliability estimation method employing extreme value theory was proposed. Using the proposed estimation method, sample based reliability design of the system natural frequencies was conducted.

Hourly ozone data are available for 73 stations in South Korea from January, 1988 to August, 1998. We are interested in detecting trends in both the mean levels and the extremes of ozone, and in determining how these trends vary over the country. The latter aspect means that we also have to understand the spatial dependence of ozone. In this connection, therefore, we examine in this paper the following features: determining trends in mean ozone levels at individual stations and combination across stations; determining trends in extreme ozone levels at individual stations and combination across stations; spatial modeling of trends in mean and extreme ozone levels.

The transmuted generalized extreme value (TGEV) distribution was first introduced by Aryal and Tsokos (Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications, 71, 401-407, 2009) and applied by Nascimento et al. (Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 45, 1847-1864, 2016). However, they did not give explicit expressions for all the moments, tail behaviour, quantiles, survival and risk functions and order statistics. The TGEV distribution is a more flexible model than the simple GEV distribution to model extreme or rare events because the right tail of the TGEV is heavier than the GEV. In addition the TGEV distribution can adjusted various forms of asymmetry. In this article, explicit expressions for these measures of the TGEV are obtained. The tail behavior and the survival and risk functions were determined for positive gamma, the moments for nonzero gamma and the moment generating function for zero gamma. The performance of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the TGEV parameters were tested through a series of Monte Carlo simulation experiments. In addition, the model was used to fit three real data sets related to financial returns.
