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 ...
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 ...
[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.
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.
The theoretical return period between occurrences is the inverse of the average frequency of occurrence. For example, a 10-year flood has a 1/10 = 0.1 or 10% chance of being exceeded in any one year and a 50-year flood has a 0.02 or 2% chance of being exceeded in any one year.
When the observed data of X are arranged in ascending order (X 1 ≤ X 2 ≤ X 3 ≤ ⋯ ≤ X N, the minimum first and the maximum last), and Ri is the rank number of the observation Xi, where the adfix i indicates the serial number in the range of ascending data, then the cumulative probability may be estimated by:
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.
In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.
