Extreme Sea Levels in Venice

  • Chapter
Statistical Analysis of Extreme Values

Abstract

By making use of the annual maxima and pot methodologies, EV and GP models are fitted to measurements of the sea level where some of the most common estimators of the shape parameter are employed. The results and some applications are compared, thereby permitting us to validate the relation: GP = 1 + log(EV).
