Extreme value distributions

Extreme value distributions

Type-I - Gumbel distribution

The probability function is:

\(f(x)=\dfrac{1}{\beta }e^{-(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\beta }+e^{-\dfrac{x-\mu }{\beta }})}\)

We can use:

\(z=\dfrac{x-\mu }{\beta }\)

To get:

\(f(x)=\dfrac{1}{\beta }e^{-(z+e^{-z})}\)

The difference between two draws from a Gumbel distribution is drawn from the logistic function.

Type-II - Frechet distribution

Type-III - Reversed Weibull distribution
