Risk analysis based on extreme regression

Extremes may give rise to bigger severity of occurrences than ordinary risks and then turn notably complex. Management of extreme events often faces challenges in the practice of problem solving and decision making, and therefore, requires of a special consideration and sufficiently using information provided. One of the most important types of statistical methods for gathering information for decision making is regression, when covariate information is available. How will the unprecedented data nowadays richness shape management of extreme events in practices? This projects aims to develop novel extreme-regression for risk analysis.
