Usually such data arise from random phenomena such as floods, hurricanes, air and water pollutants, extreme claim sizes, life spans, and maximum sizes of ecological populations. It provides the latest statistical methods to model these random phenomena to understand and predict them, thus allowing the avoidance of damage or at least minimizing it. In addition, this book sheds light on the mathematical and statistical theories on which applied modelling methods were built. Therefore, it has both an applied and theoretical orientation, and represents a valuable addition to existing literature on the modelling of extreme value data.
