3 Motivation Rational and consistent design and assessment of marine structures Reduce bias and uncertainty in estimation of structural integrity Quantify uncertainty as well as possible Non-stationary marginal, conditional, spatial and temporal extremes Multiple locations, multiple variables, time-series Multidimensional covariates Improved understanding and communication of risk Incorporation within established engineering design practices Knock-on effects of improved inference The ocean environment is an amazing thing to study... especially if you like to combine beautiful physics, measurement and statistical modelling! Copyright of Shell December / 23

4 Fundamentals Environmental extremes vary smoothly with multidimensional covariates Model parameters are non-stationary Environmental extremes exhibit spatial and temporal dependence Characterise these appropriately Uncertainty quantification for whole inference Data acquisition (simulator or measurement) Data pre-processing (storm peak identification) Hyper-parameters (extreme value threshold) Model form (marginal measurement scale effect, spatial extremal dependence) Statistical and computational efficiency Slick algorithms Parallel computation Bayesian inference Copyright of Shell December / 23

5 A typical sample Typical data for South China Sea location. Sea state (grey) and storm peak (black) H S on season and direction Copyright of Shell December / 23

6 Outline Directional-seasonal covariate models for H sp S Introductory example using P-splines Adaptive splines Partition models South China Sea example as connecting theme Focus on the generalised Pareto (GP) inference Copyright of Shell December / 23

7 Simple gamma-gp model Copyright of Shell December / 23

8 Simple gamma-gp model Sample of peaks over threshold y, with covariates θ θ is 1D in motivating example : directional θ is nd later : e.g. 4D spatio-directional-seasonal Below threshold ψ y follows truncated gamma with shape α, scale 1/β Hessian for gamma better behaved than Weibull Above ψ y follows generalised Pareto with shape ξ, scale σ ξ, σ, α, β, ψ all functions of θ ψ for pre-specified threshold probability τ Generalise later to estimation of τ Frigessi et al. [22], Behrens et al. [24], MacDonald et al. [211] Randell et al. [216] Copyright of Shell December / 23

9 Simple gamma-gp model Density is f (y ξ, σ, α, β, ψ, τ) = { τ f TG (y α, β, ψ) for y ψ (1 τ) f GP (y ξ, σ, ψ) for y > ψ Likelihood is L(ξ, σ, α, β, ψ, τ {y i } n i=1 ) = f TG (y i α, β, ψ) f GP (y i ξ, σ, ψ) i:y i ψ Estimate all parameters as functions of θ i:y i >ψ τ n B (1 τ) (1 n B) where n B = i:y i ψ Copyright of Shell December / 23 1.

10 Standard P-spline model Physical considerations suggest α, β, ρ, ξ, σ, ψ and τ vary smoothly with covariates θ Values of η {α, β, ρ, ξ, σ, ψ, τ} on some index set of covariates take the form η = Bβ η For nd covariates, B takes the form of tensor product B θn...
