Conditional density estimation (CDE) is a fundamental task in machine learning that aims to model the full conditional law $\mathbb{P}(\mathbf{y} \mid \mathbf{x})$, beyond mere point prediction (e.g., mean, mode). A core challenge is…

We propose a way how to generate a max-stable process in $C[0,1]$ from a max-stable random vector in $\mathbb R^d$ by generalizing the \emph{max-linear model} established by \citet{wansto11}. It turns out that if the random vector follows…
