Abstract: Economic analysis of weather risk often depends on accurate assessment of the probability (P) of tail quantiles (Q). Extreme value theory can provide a promising estimation of the tail part risk and this paper intends to apply the extreme value model to estimate the tail risk on India excess rainfall.
