Statistical Analysis of Extreme Values with Applications to Insurance, Finance, Hydrology and Other Fields

"The book is well written. It assumes a knowledge of statistics, but many of the ideas and techniques can be used by a nonstatistician. As a handbook for XTREMES, it is excellent, and I recommend it highly."

-Computing Reviews

"The present book is a valuable contribution to the various theoretical and applied problems in the area of extreme value theory...a pleasure to read."

-Statistics & Decisions

"The book is however much more than a manual for the program and it would provide an excellent introduction to the subject for any statistician looking for a practical introduction to the subject of extreme values."

- J. Time Series Analysis

"With general statistics software, appropriate tools for the analysis of real extreme value problems are rarely provided. XTREMES excellently fills this gap in the statistics software market."

-Computational Statistics

"For a practitioner from industry, insurance, or finance who is less concerned with understanding the underlying probability and more interested in applications, this new book will be a good buy."

-JASA

"The book can be highly recommended to all who deal with statistics of extremes." -
