Threshold selection for wave heights: asymptotic methods based on L-moments
Abstract
Two automatic threshold selection (TS) methods for Extreme Value analysis under a peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach are presented and evaluated, both built on: fitting the Generalized Pareto distribution (GPd) to excesses' samples over candidate levels ; the GPd-specific relation between L-skewness and L-kurtosis; the asymptotic behaviour of the matching L-statistics. Performance is illustrated on significant wave heights data sets and compared to the L-moment-based heuristic in [10], which is found to be favorable.
