30 Localized Temperature Risk Analysis 5-2 Adaptation Scale Fix s 1, 2,..., 365, sequence of ordered weights: W s (k) = (w(s, 1, h k ), w(s, 2, h k ),..., w(s, 365, h k )). Define w(s, t, h k ) = K hk (s t), (h 1 < h 2 <... < h K ). Local likelihood: L ˆε 365j+t = X 365j+t ˆβ l X 365j+t l θ k (s) = arg min θ Θ def = arg min θ Θ 365 l=1 t=1 j=0 J {log(2πθ)/2 + ˆε 2 t,j/2θ}w(s, t, h k ), L(W (k) s, θ)
