The univariate extreme value theory deals with the convergence in type of powers of elements of sequences of cumulative distribution functions on the real line when the power index gets infinite. In terms of convergence of random variables, this amounts to the the weak convergence, in the sense of probability measures weak convergence, of the partial maximas of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. In this monograph, this theory is comprehensively studied in the broad frame of weak convergence of random vectors as exposed in Lo et al.(2016). It has two main parts. The first is devoted to its nice mathematical foundation. Most of the materials of this part is taken from the most essential Lo`eve(1936,177) and Haan (1970), based on the stunning theory of regular, pi or gamma variation. To prepare the statistical applications, a number contributions I made in my PhD and my Doctorate of Sciences are added in the last chapter of the last chapter of that part. Our real concern is to put these materials together with others, among them those of the authors from his PhD dissertations and Science doctorate thesis, in a way to have an almost full coverage of the theory on the real line that may serve as a master course of one semester in our universities. As well, it will help the second part of the monograph. This second part will deal with statistical estimations problems related to extreme values. It addresses various estimation questions and should be considered as the beginning of a survey study to be updated progressively. Research questions are tackled therein. Many results of the author, either unpublished or not sufficiently known, are stated and/or updated therein.

For n>=1 let X_n be a vector of n independent Bernoulli random variables. We assume that X_n consists of M blocks such that the Bernoulli random variables in block i have success probability p_i. Here M does not depend on n and the size of each block is essentially linear in n. Let X_n be a random vector having the conditional distribution of X_n, conditioned on the total number of successes being at least k_n, where k_n is also essentially linear in n. Define Y_n similarly, but with success probabilities q_i>=p_i. We prove that the law of X_n converges weakly to a distribution that we can describe precisely. We then prove that sup Pr(X_n <= Y_n) converges to a constant, where the supremum is taken over all possible couplings of X_n and Y_n. This constant is expressed explicitly in terms of the parameters of the system.
A new approach to prove weak convergence of random polytopes on the space of compact convex sets is presented. This is used to show that the profile of the rescaled Schlafli random cone of a random conical tessellation generated by $n$ independent and uniformly distributed random linear hyperplanes in $mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ weakly converges to the typical cell of a stationary and isotropic Poisson hyperplane tessellation in $mathbb{R}^d$, as $n to infty$.
We study derangements of ${1,2,ldots,n}$ under the Ewens distribution with parameter $theta$. We give the moments and marginal distributions of the cycle counts, the number of cycles, and asymptotic distributions for large $n$. We develop a ${0,1}$-valued non-homogeneous Markov chain with the property that the counts of lengths of spacings between the 1s have the derangement distribution. This chain, an analog of the so-called Feller Coupling, provides a simple way to simulate derangements in time independent of $theta$ for a given $n$ and linear in the size of the derangement.
Asymptotic laws of records values have usually been investigated as limits in type. In this paper, we use functional representations of the tail of cumulative distribution functions in the extreme value domain of attraction to directly establish asymptotic laws of records value, not necessarily as limits in type. Results beyond the extreme value value domain are provided. Explicit asymptotic laws concerning very usual laws are listed as well. Some of these laws are expected to be used in fitting distribution
For extreme value copulas with a known upper tail dependence coefficient we find pointwise upper and lower bounds, which are used to establish upper and lower bounds of the Spearman and Kendall correlation coefficients. We shown that in all cases the lower bounds are attained on Marshall--Olkin copulas, and the upper ones, on copulas with piecewise linear dependence functions.
