A modeler's guide to extreme value software

Computation 2022-05-17 v1

Abstract

This review paper surveys recent development in software implementations for extreme value analyses since the publication of Stephenson and Gilleland (2006) and Gilleland et al. (2013), here with a focus on numerical challenges. We provide a comparative review by topic and highlight differences in existing routines, along with listing areas where software development is lacking. The online supplement contains two vignettes providing a comparison of implementations of frequentist and Bayesian estimation of univariate extreme value models.
