A Hierarchical Model for Serially-Dependent Extremes: A Study of Heat Waves in the Western US

2014-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Heat waves take a major toll on human populations, with negative impacts on the economy, agriculture, and human health. As a result, there is great interest in studying the changes over time in the probability and magnitude of heat waves. In this paper we propose a hierarchical Bayesian model for serially-dependent extreme temperatures. We assume the marginal temperature distribution follows the generalized Pareto...
