Abstract:
Motivated from extreme value (EV) analysis for large non-metallic inclusions in engineering steels and a real data set, the benefit of choosing a multivariate EV approach is discussed. An extensive simulation study shows that the common univariate setup may lead to a high proportion of mis-specifications of the true EV distribution, as well as that the statistical analysis is considerably improved when being based on the respective data of r largest observations, with r appropriately chosen. Results for several underlying distributions and various values of r are presented along with effects on estimators for the parameters of the generalized EV family of distributions.
