This work contributes to study the application of extreme value theory (EVT) in road safety
analysis, estimating the risk of being involved in an entering–circulating collision in single …

Extremes are rare and unexpected. This limits observations and constrains our knowledge
on their predictability and behavior. Graphical tools are among the many methods …

We investigate a low-dimensional slow-fast model to understand the dynamical origin of El
Niño southern oscillation. A close inspection of the system dynamics using several …

Abstract A conventional Decision Support System (DSS) can be used to characterize tails of
probability distributions into distribution families using various graphical methods. Existing …

The tails of the probability distribution host extremes. The distributions are typically classified
into heavy or light-tailed distributions subjected to their tail behavior, out of which the former …

Extreme precipitation events lie in the upper part of the probability distribution of daily
precipitation data, that is, the tail. Depending upon the tail behaviour, various probability …

We propose a mean functional that exists for arbitrary probability distributions and
characterizes the Pareto distribution within the set of distributions with finite left endpoint …

Companies in the financial and insurance sector have to face a large amount and a large
variety of risks. Some of these risks are easy to estimate and model, but there also exist risks …

This thesis marks the end of my master's degree in Wireless Communication & Sensing at
the faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. Foremost, I would …

In univariate data, there exist standard procedures for identifying dominating features that
produce the largest number of observations. However, in the multivariate setting, the …
