The frequency of exceedance is the number of times a stochastic process exceeds some critical value, usually a critical value far from the process' mean, per unit time. [1] Counting exceedance of the critical value can be accomplished either by counting peaks of the process that exceed the critical value [1] or by counting upcrossings of the ...
Buffered probability of exceedance (bPOE) is a function of a random variable used in statistics and risk management, including financial risk. The bPOE is the probability of a tail with known mean value . The figure shows the bPOE at threshold (marked in red) as the blue shaded area.
In probability theory, Rice's formula counts the average number of times an ergodic stationary process X(t) per unit time crosses a fixed level u. [1] Adler and Taylor describe the result as "one of the most important results in the applications of smooth stochastic processes." [2] The formula is often used in engineering. [3]
[4] For POT data, the analysis may involve fitting two distributions: One for the number of events in a time period considered and a second for the size of the exceedances. A common assumption for the first is the Poisson distribution , with the generalized Pareto distribution being used for the exceedances.
In probability theory and statistics, the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution [2] is a family of continuous probability distributions developed within extreme value theory to combine the Gumbel, Fréchet and Weibull families also known as type I, II and III extreme value distributions.
An estimate of the uncertainty in the first and second case can be obtained with the binomial probability distribution using for example the probability of exceedance Pe (i.e. the chance that the event X is larger than a reference value Xr of X) and the probability of non-exceedance Pn (i.e. the chance that the event X is smaller than or equal ...
If g is a general function, then the probability that g(X) is valued in a set of real numbers K equals the probability that X is valued in g −1 (K), which is given by (). Under various conditions on g , the change-of-variables formula for integration can be applied to relate this to an integral over K , and hence to identify the density of g ...
Histogram derived from the adapted cumulative probability distribution Histogram and probability density function, derived from the cumulative probability distribution, for a logistic distribution. The observed data can be arranged in classes or groups with serial number k. Each group has a lower limit (L k) and an upper limit (U k).
