Mathematical Statistics: Statistical Modelling of Extreme Values

The course “Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values” teaches you how to understand and apply extreme value theory. You will gain knowledge on how to model and analyze extreme events, which is important in fields such as finance, safety engineering, actuarial science, and environmental science. The course is an elective compulsory course at an advanced level for a Master’s degree in Mathematical Statistics. The teaching is conducted in English.

The studies consist of lectures, exercises, and laboratory sessions. The laboratory sessions are mandatory and integrated with other teaching activities. The examination is carried out through a written exam at the end of the course. To pass, you must have a passed exam, approved laboratory reports, and participate in all mandatory components.
