On the Two-Component Extreme Value Distribution and its Point and Regional Estimators Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The two component extreme value distribution was derived using the principle of maximum entropy. Equations for the estimation of the distribution parameters are given. The method is reported to be suitable for both specific and regional cases. Statistical properties of the regionalized estimation procedure were evaluated and compared with those of maximum likelihood estimators.
