Extreme precipitation, like floods and landslides, poses major risks to safety and the economy, underscoring the need for sophisticated weather forecasting to predict these events accurately, enhancing readiness and resilience. Nowcasting, which uses real-time atmospheric data to predict short-term weather, is key in addressing this challenge....

Extreme quantile regression provides estimates of conditional quantiles outside the range of the data. Classical quantile regression performs poorly in such cases since data in the tail region are too scarce. Extreme value theory is used for extrapolation beyond the range of observed values and estimation of conditional extreme quantiles....

Extreme precipitation can often cause serious hazards such as flooding and landslide. Both pose a threat to human lives and lead to substantial economic loss. It is crucial to develop a reliable weather forecasting system that can predict such extreme events to mitigate the effect of heavy precipitation and increase resilience to these hazards....

In this thesis we develop several statistical methods to estimate high conditional quantiles to use for statistical post-processing of weather forecasts. We propose methodologies that combine theory from extreme value statistics and machine learning algorithms in order to estimate high conditional quantiles in large covariate spaces. In...

This dissertation collects three scientific contributions, already published in international peer-reviewed journals, plus some extra considerations and work-in-progress. First, we present a model based on reinforced urn processes, which conjugates to the right-censored recovery process, and empirically apply it to the time series of recovery...

By sampling financial correlation matrices over sliding windows, it has been shown in recent work that the quantum majorization induced partial ordering on this space of correlation matrices known as the "quantum Lorenz ordering" (QLO) can be used to characterize systemic risk by clustering correlation matrices according to their degree...

In order to overcome the shortcomings of crash data a number of surrogate measures of safety have been developed and proposed by various researchers. One of the most widely used temporal indicators is time-to-collision (TTC) which requires the road users to be on a collision course. Road users that are strictly speaking not on a collision...

In this thesis we are going to study outlier detection methods and propose a new method. Classical outlier detection is typically based on the assumption that the data is from a Gaussian/normal distribution. When the underlying distribution of a random sample is heavy tailed, so not normal , it is likely to have some extreme observations which...

The most common way to evaluate traffic safety is investigating the occurrence and severity of crashes using historical data. This approach however has a number of limitations, the most important of which is probably its reactive nature. An alternative method using non-crash events has gained a lot of attention recently, especially thanks to the...

In this thesis the theory of depth functions is researched. Depth functions are functions that measure data depth and order multivariate observations. Two depth functions are discussed: the halfspace and simplicial depth function. The halfspace depth of a point is defined as the smallest probability for which a closed halfspace contains that...

Fluvial flooding is a recurring phenomenon in Rwanda due to a combination of climate, topography and human interventions. This poses a hazard to human lives and infrastructure, particularly in low-lying areas adjacent to major rivers. An example of such areas is the Masaka wetland, located in the southern edge of the capital Kigali along the...

In this research, the returns of four cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple and Ethereum) were analyzed in order to answer the following research question: “How do the returns of Bitcoin and other altcoins behave over time, and what can we say about extreme values for losses and profits?” With respect to volatility, cryptocurrencies can...

We analyzed several multiyear wind speed datasets from 4 different geographical locations. The probability density functions of wind ramps from all these sites revealed remarkably similar shapes. The tails of the probability density functions are much heavier than a Gaussian distribution, and they also systematically depend on time increments....

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are in many regions responsible for severe damages and a great number of casualties, resulting from the severe wind speeds, rainfall, wave heights and storm surges. The recent hurricanes Harvey and Irma are examples of the great devastation that can be caused by a single event, and of the insufficient level of...

In this thesis we model extreme log-returns on economic variables and apply this to Ortec Finance's model. These extreme log-returns are relevant for risk management applications such as Value-at-Risk and other measures of tail risk. We use extreme value theory to simulate economic variables with the desired tail behaviour. We pay special...

Intraday liquidity risk is a subject that applies to all banks, and arises whenever there is a timing mismatch between incoming and outgoing payments within a business day. In case such a mismatch occurs, the bank is exposed to the risk that it is unable to meet its payment obligations at the time expected. A liquidity buffer could help to...

The estimation of extreme quantile curves of a family of conditional distributions is a non-trivial problem, due to the data-sparseness in the tail of the distribution. This thesis considers the problem of post-processing extreme precipitation forecasts in Friesland from the numerical weather prediction model HARMONIE. Assuming forecasts are...

How disastrous would it be if a flood occurred in your country? Or a Tsunami, earthquake etc... The events above are considered to be 'extreme'. When such phenomena happen the results are usually very destructive, but the probability that such an extreme event occurs is of course very small and might not even occur in an entire lifetime. The...

In the design of mooring systems, it is a common practice to use a 100-year design environment to calculate extreme responses. Statistical inference is executed on the environmental data to produce a 100-year environment. This 100-year environment is then simulated to calculate the loads that occur when the vessel is under the influence of the...
