Extreme Value and Related Models with Applications in Engineering and Science reflects the latest information in this growing field. The book incorporates illuminating real-world examples from such areas as structural engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, materials science, highway traffic analysis, environmetrics, and climatology, and is designed to help engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, and scientists gain a clearer understanding of extreme value theory and then translate that knowledge into practical applications within their own fields of research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book provides:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA unique focus on modern topics including data analysis and inference\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecific data in such areas as wind, flood, chain strength, electrical insulation, fatigue, precipitation, and wave heights\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUseful techniques for addressing extreme value problems, including discrete, continuous, univariate, and multivariate models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of order statistics, return period, exceedances and shortfalls, along with detailed explanations on how to obtain exact distributions for these statistics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn in-depth look at asymptotic models and the limit distributions of maxima, minima, and other order statistics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnhanced with numerous graphs and exercises, plus an extensive bibliography for further study, this text is an important reference source for engineers designing structures that will withstand even the most extreme circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.  \u003cp\u003eI: DATA, INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
