, {\displaystyle F(x;0,\sigma ,-\alpha )} σ This phrasing is common in the theory of discrete choice models, which include logit models, probit models, and various extensions of them, and derives from the fact that the difference of two type-I GEV-distributed variables follows a logistic distribution, of which the logit function is the quantile function. ξ {\displaystyle s} The origin of the common functional form for all 3 distributions dates back to at least Jenkinson, A. F. (1955), though allegedly it could also have been given by Mises, R. (1936). Kjersti Aas, lecture, NTNU, Trondheim, 23 Jan 2008, The GEV distribution is widely used in the treatment of "tail risks" in fields ranging from insurance to finance. 1 x → ES is an alternative to value at risk that is more sensitive to the shape of the tail of the loss distribution. {\displaystyle s<-1/\xi \,.} μ − {\displaystyle \mu \,,} is 1. 2 ∈ 0 > 2 Φ , Some simple statistics of the distribution are: For ξ<0, the sign of the numerator is reversed. γ − This arises because the ordinary Weibull distribution is used in cases that deal with data minima rather than data maxima.

H. C. Tippett who recognised three different forms outlined below. i log Pages in category "Continuous distributions" The following 172 pages are in this category, out of 172 total. ξ ( Weibull In probability theory and statistics, the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions developed within extreme value theory to combine the Gumbel, Fréchet and Weibull families also known as type I, II and III extreme value distributions. n . n i The "expected shortfall at q% level" is the expected return on the portfolio in the worst % of cases. The shape parameter {\displaystyle \xi \to 0} . {\displaystyle -1/\xi } The generalized extreme value distribution is a special case of a max-stable distribution, and is a transformation of a min-stable distribution. / The shape parameter ξ{\displaystyle \xi }governs the tail behavior of the distribution. n α Q = t A generalised extreme value distribution for data minima can be obtained, for example by substituting (−x) for x in the distribution function, and subtracting from one: this yields a separate family of distributions. log p can be any real number. 1 σ For ) Since the cumulative distribution function is invertible, the quantile function for the GEV distribution has an explicit expression, namely, and therefore the quantile density function (q≡dQdp){\displaystyle \left(q\equiv {\frac {\;\operatorname {d} Q\;}{\operatorname {d} p}}\right)}is, valid for σ>0 {\displaystyle ~\sigma >0~}and for any real ξ. ) ( 0 {\displaystyle sIn the first case, −1/ξ{\displaystyle -1/\xi }is the negative, lower end-point, where F{\displaystyle F}is 0; in the second case, −1/ξ{\displaystyle -1/\xi }is the positive, upper end-point, where F{\displaystyle F}is 1. , {\displaystyle \ln X} s − − n Link to Fréchet, Weibull and Gumbel families, Modification for minima rather than maxima, Alternative convention for the Weibull distribution, Link to logit models (logistic regression), Example for Normally distributed variables, Link to Fréchet, Weibull and Gumbel families, Modification for minima rather than maxima, Alternative convention for the Weibull distribution, Link to logit models (logistic regression), Example for Normally distributed variables. More precisely, Extreme Value Theory (Univariate Theory) describes which of the three is the limiting law according to the initial law X and in particular depending on its tail. ∼ Multinomial logit models, and certain other types of logistic regression, can be phrased as latent variable models with error variables distributed as Gumbel distributions (type I generalized extreme value distributions). ξ is 0; in the second case, X In the first case, σ I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like. ξ ] i μ This allow us to estimate e.g. The Gumbel distribution is a particular case of the generalized extreme value distribution (also known as the Fisher-Tippett distribution). is the negative, lower end-point, where = {\displaystyle \xi <0} ξ ( One can link the type I to types II and III the following way: if the cumulative distribution function of some random variable X{\displaystyle X}is of type II, and with the positive numbers as support, i.e. 0 = g − The type-I GEV distribution thus plays the same role in these logit models as the normal distribution does in the corresponding probit models. {\displaystyle X} = , 1 + s ( in the case X ξ , then the cumulative distribution of normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1. , Φ {\displaystyle \max _{i\in [n]}X_{i}} , then the cumulative distribution of X μ 1 − , X Fitted GEV probability distribution to monthly maximum one-day rainfalls in October, Surinam, Link to Fréchet, Weibull and Gumbel families, Modification for minima rather than maxima, Alternative convention for the Weibull distribution, Link to logit models (logistic regression), Example for Normally distributed variables, CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Generalized_extreme_value_distribution&oldid=989172851, The GEV distribution is widely used in the treatment of "tail risks" in fields ranging from insurance to finance.
