4 Air pollutants (Leeds, UK, winter 94-98, daily max) NO vs. PM10 (left), SO2 vs. PM10 (center), and SO2 vs. NO (right) Heffernan& Tawn 2004, Boldi & Davison, 2007, Cooley, Davis, Naveau, PM10 NO PM10 SO NO SO2

5 Typical question What is the probability of observing data in the blue box?

8 Multivariate Extreme Value Theory (de Haan, Resnick and others) Maxima Max-stability G t (tz) =G(z) Regularly varying High quantiles Scaling property Λ(tA z )=t 1 Λ(A z ) Tail behavior Counting exceedances

9 Siméon Denis Poisson ( ) Counting excesses As a sum of random binary events, the variable N n that counts the number of events above the threshold u n has mean n Pr(X > u n) Poisson s theorem in 1837 If u n such that lim n Pr(X > un) =λ (0, ). n then N n follows approximately a Poisson variable N.

10 Still counting P(max(X 1,...,X n)/a n x, max(y 1,...,Y n)/a n y) =P(N n(a) =0) Y_i/a_n A y * * * * * * * * * * * * * * x X_i/a_n

11 Still counting P(max(X 1,...,X n)/a n x, max(y 1,...,Y n)/a n y) =P(N n(a) =0) Poisson again If then lim E(Nn(A)) = Λ(A), n lim P(Nn(A) =0) =P(N(A) =0) =exp( Λ(A)) n

12 Still counting P(max(X 1,...,X n)/a n x, max(y 1,...,Y n)/a n y) =P(N n(a) =0) Poisson again If then lim E(Nn(A)) = Λ(A), n lim P(Nn(A) =0) =P(N(A) =0) =exp( Λ(A)) n Two questions What is the sequence a n? What are its properties of Λ(A)?

13 Back to univariate case : Fréchet margins We know for the univariate GEV case with heavy-tailed and lim P(max(X 1,...,X n n)/a n x) =exp( x α ) with a n such that P(X > a n)=1/n Poisson condition with lim np(x/an Ax) =Λx(Ax) n Λ x(a x)=x α, for A x =[x, )

14 Scaling property Univariate case with Λ x(a x)=x α Λ x(ta x)=t α Λ x(a x) Multivariate case Λ(tA) =t α Λ(A)

15 Scaling property : an essential property of inference Λ(tA) =t α Λ(A) t A t α Λ t α A Area with data points

16 Interpreting the scaling property Λ(tA) =t α Λ(A) with α = 1 and y = y 1 + y 2 t y 1 + y 2 = t { {y : y/ y B and y >t} 1 y 1 + y 2 =1 B 1 t

17 Interpreting the scaling property Λ(tA) =t 1 Λ(A) A special case A = {x : x/r B and r > 1} where x, r = x and B any set belonging to the unit sphere A surprising property ta = {tx : x/r B and r > 1}, = {u : u/ u B and u > t}, with u = tx. This implies Λ({u : u/ u B and u > t}) =t 1 H (B) where H(.) spectral measure restricted to the unit sphere

18 Interpreting the scaling property Λ(tA) =t 1 Λ(A) A special case A = {x : x/r B and r > 1} where x, r = x and B any set belonging to the unit sphere A surprising property This implies ta = {tx : x/r B and r > 1}, = {u : u/ u B and u > t}, with u = tx. Λ({u : u/ u B and u > t}) =t 1 H (B) where H(.) spectral measure restricted to the unit sphere Independence between the radius r = x and the spectral measure The dependence among extremes is only captured by the spectral measure

19 Polar coordinates in 3D Radius r = x 1 + x 2 + x 3 and angle vector : w 1 = x 1 r, w 2 = x 2 r, w 3 = x 3 r

20 100 largest extremes NO SO PM PM NO S02

21 Dependence among the 100 angles W =(W 1, W 2, W 3 ) NO SO 2 PM 10

22 Our main problems How to find appropriate models to describe the dependence over the simplex? How to infer the parameters of our models? How to combine competing models?

23 An unique moment constraint the spectral measure H R Simplex w idh(w) = 1 d

24 An unique moment constraint the spectral measure H R Simplex w idh(w) = 1 d Non-parametric versus parametric In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is. Jan L. A. van de Snepscheut or Yogi Berra

34 Multivariate Extreme Value Theory and BMA A mixture of max-stable distributions is not max -stable A mixture of spectral measures is still a valid spectral measure, i.e. R Simplex w idh(w) = 1 d for dh = P p j dh j

35 Multivariate Extreme Value Theory and BMA Proposition 3.1. Let H 1,...H J be J angular spectral measures associated to J max-stable measures ν j (.). Let(p 1,...p J ) be a vector of positive weights summing to one. If H corresponds to their weighted average H = J j=1 p jh j, then (i) H is a valid spectral measure for a multivariate max-stable random vector M with unit-fréchet margins, exponent measure ν([0, x] c )= J p j ν j ([0, x] c ) j=1 (ii) M has max-combination representation J M = d p j M j j=1

49 Take home messages Feasibility of implementing BMA for multivariate extremes (in low dimensions) Computations can quickly become intensive The choice and number of parametric models are important Asymmetric nested logistic well tailored to represent bridges Pairwise beta model is flexible and be generalized (see Ballani and Schlater s extensions) More research needed to extend BMA to mixtures Going fully Bayesian non-parametric (Segers and colleagues, Boldi and Davison)
