Abstract

This talk will cover Extreme Value Theory and its key results on convergence, focusing on the
Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) family and the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) family.
Additionally, we will explore the concept of the shape of a distribution and how it can be used to
characterize GEV and GPD distributions. This characterization can serve as the basis for developing
a graphical tool to assess tail weight. The presentation will conclude with a real-world example
applied to environmental data.
