Course Goal / Objective
The primary objectives of this course are: a) To teach the basic properties of extreme values such as minimum and maximum temperatures in meteorology, droughts and floods in hydrology etc., b) to determine the likely probability distributions and to estimate parameters of extreme values, c) to apply them to hydrological and hydrometeorological variables.
Course Content
Basic concepts and definition of extreme values (EV). Factors affecting EV: natural factors and human activities. EV analysis techniques: a)Descriptive statistics and interpretations, problems encountered and solutions, b) Homogeneity, trend and periodicity issue, c) Frequency analysis: Normal, Log-Normal, Gamma, Pearson Type III, Log-Pearson Type III, Extreme Value Type I (Gumbel), Extreme Value Type III (Weibul) probability distribution functions (pdf) and parameter estimation; d) "Goodness of Fits" tests of pdf: Khi-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and probability line correlation coefficient tests; e) Estimation of EV at unsampled points or on sub-catchments based on at any given risk level. EV Applications to real data such as minimum and maximum temperatures, low flow rates, low or high floods etc.; synthetic data generation and interpretations.
Course Precondition
In order to enroll this course, it is sufficient to be a graduate or doctoral student. There are no other prerequisites.
