2 Prelimiaries: Retur period IID radom variables {X 1, X 2, X 3, } with CDF F X Occurrece (or success) = {X i > x p } i i th trial p = P{success} = P {X i > x p } = 1 F X (x p ) x p = level correspodig to exceedace probability p Sequece of idepedet ad idetical Beroulli trials: Geometric radom variable Time betwee successive occureces is radom Mea Retur Period associated with x p is 1/p (i uits of trial time iterval)

3 Prelimiaries: Characteristic value IID radom variables {X 1, X 2, X 3, } with CDF F X Success = {X i > x p } i i th trial p = P{success} = P {X i > x p } = 1 F X (x p ) x p = level correspodig to exceedace probability p repeated trials Biomial radom variable Mea umber of occurreces = p x = Characteristic value of X i if mea umber of occurreces, p(x ) =1 that is, 1 F X (x ) = 1/

4 Motivatio: Time-depedet reliability First Passage Time: T = if [ t : C( t, x) < D( t, x), t 0, x Ω] ( tl ) = P T tl Probability of failure: [ ] P f Capacity (C) demad (D) time t L

5 Desig issues Maximum load Miimum capacity Associated ucertaities Data drive

6 Reliability problem statemet Time-depedet failure probability P f ( t) = P[ R( τ ) D L( τ ) 0 for ay τ [0, t]] Simplificatio P ( t) P[ R D Lmax, 0] Need to estimate L max,t f = e t

7 Maximum live load estimatio Maximum live load L = max{ L1, L2,..., ( t) } max, t L N Distributio fuctio Simplificatios idepedece statioarity F max, ( l) = P[ L1 l, L2 l,..., L ( ) L t N t F max, () [ ()] N t L t l = FL l () l]

8 Extreme value theory: problem statemet Sequece of radom variables {X i } What are the limitig forms of Z ad W? Issues Z = max( X, X,..., X ) ~ H 1 2 W = mi( X, X,..., X ) ~ L 1 2 ukow Degeeracy of limit distributios: ifiite Nature of populatio distributios, F i Depedece i the sequece No-statioarity of the sequece

9 IID (classical) case {X i } is a IID sequece X i ad X j are idepedet for i j F i = F are same for all i H (x) ad L (x) are degeerate distributios PZ [ x] = H( x) = F ( x) PW [ x] = L( x) = 1 (1 F( x)) lim H ( x) 0, x< ω( F) = 1, otherwise ω( F) = upper ed poit of F lim L ( x) ( ) 0, x α( F) = 1, otherwise a( F) = lower ed poit of F

10 Code for CDF of Xmax vs. %This program geerates a sequece of IID expoetial RVs ad stores it maximum, xmax %It the repeats the process mct times %The distributio of xmax is plotted %The plot is repeated for a differet clear all; mct=1000; =iput('give \'); for mcti=1:mct, for i=1:, x(i)=-log(rad); ed xmax(mcti)=max(x); freq(mcti)=mcti/(mct+1); ed xmaxsorted=sort(xmax); loglog(xmaxsorted,freq); sizes=['=' um2str()]; hold o; text(xmaxsorted(mct/2),.5,[sizes],'backgroudcolor',[1 1 1],'EdgeColor','black'); axis([0,100,0,1]);

11 Example: degeeracy for large X i ~ Expoetial(1) iid X = max{ X, X,..., X } max 1 2 i= 1,..., cdf of X max x

12 Normalizatio Ca we ormalize Z ad help matters? Z a lim P x = lim H( a + bx ) = H( x) b Issues How may possible forms for H? How does H deped o F? How to fid a ad b What is the speed of covergece?

13 Normalizatio Ca we ormalize W () ad help matters? W( ) a lim P z = lim L( ) ( a + bz ) = Lz ( ) b Issues How may possible forms for L? How does L deped o F? How to fid a ad b What is the speed of covergece?

14 Normalizatio As, Istead of F ( x) = F ( x) max Look at F ( x) where x = f( x, ) Simplest form for x : X X x = a + bx

15 Normalizatio example X i max ~ Expoetial(1) F ( x) = F ( x) = (1 exp( x)) X As, Replace x α( x u) + l( ) exp( α ( x u)) Obtai: Fmax ( x) = lim 1 = exp( exp( α ( x u)))

16 Code for CDF of ormalized Xmax vs. %This program geerates IID Expoetials ad stores the maximum xmax. %xmax is the recetered ad scaled as a fuctio of %The process is repeated times clear all; mct=1000; =iput('give \'); scale=iput('give scale\'); shift=iput('give shift\'); if ==1,scale=1;shift=0;ed for mcti=1:mct, for i=1:, x(i)=-log(rad); ed xmax(mcti)=(max(x)-log()+shift)/scale; freq(mcti)=mcti/(mct+1); ed xmaxsorted=sort(xmax); loglog(xmaxsorted,freq); sizes=['=' um2str()]; hold o; text(xmaxsorted(mct/2),.5,[sizes],'backgroudcolor',[1 1 1],'EdgeColor','black'); axis([0,100,0,1]);

18 Limit distributios i IID case There are oly three types of o-degeerate distributios H(x) for maxima There are oly three types of o-degeerate distributios L(x) for miima Necessary ad sufficiet coditios exist for F(x) to yield above max or mi distributios Note: Two distributios F ad G are of the same type, if F(x) = G(ax+b) where a, b are costats

19 Geeralized EV distributio for maxima I IID case, H( z) must be of the same type as: H z cz cz 1/ c c( ) = exp (1 + ), 1+ > 0 e c= 0 Gumbel (Type I) distributio: H ( z) = e, < z< γ z e, z > 0 c> 0 Frechet (Type II) distributio: HF ( z) = 0, z 0 c < 0 Weibull (Type III) distributio: H ( z) where γ = 1/ c G W z 1, z > 0 = γ ( z) e, z 0
