methods.block_maxima

class evt.methods.block_maxima.BlockMaxima(dataset: evt.dataset.Dataset, number_of_datapoints_per_block: int)

Bases: object

The block maxima method is one of the two fundamental approaches in extreme value theory. The Dataset dataset is divided into blocks of size number_of_datapoints_per_block . For every block, the maximum is determined.

plot_block_maxima(ax: matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes)

Plots the block maxima as stars against the original dataset. The blocks are indicated by vertical separators.

plot_block_maxima_boxplot(ax: matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes)

Plots a boxplot of the block maxima on the left side. On the right side, a boxplot of the original dataset is shown for comparison.
