Asymptotic Extremal Distribution for Non-Stationary, Strongly-Dependent Data

Abstract

The statistical analysis of extreme values has a wide and vast domain of applications on many disciplines. Extreme wind speeds are a key input for design in Structural Engineering, maximun levels of traffic are crucial for design and operation in Telecommunications Networks, maximun tides are essential for any policy concerning coast resources mangement, extreme events on chemical, physical or biological conditions may affect dramatically very sensitive ecosystems, etc.([2], [4].
