For a skew normal random sequence, convergence rates of the distribution of its partial maximum to the Gumbel extreme value distribution are derived. The asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the normalized maximum is given under an optimal choice of norming constants. We find that the optimal convergence rate of the normalized maximum to the Gumbel extreme value distribution is proportional to $1/log n$.

This paper considers the problem of estimating probabilities of the form $mathbb{P}(Y leq w)$, for a given value of $w$, in the situation that a sample of i.i.d. observations $X_1, ldots, X_n$ of $X$ is available, and where we explicitly know a funct ional relation between the Laplace transforms of the non-negative random variables $X$ and $Y$. A plug-in estimator is constructed by calculating the Laplace transform of the empirical distribution of the sample $X_1, ldots, X_n$, applying the functional relation to it, and then (if possible) inverting the resulting Laplace transform and evaluating it in $w$. We show, under mild regularity conditions, that the resulting estimator is weakly consistent and has expected absolute estimation error $O(n^{-1/2} log(n+1))$. We illustrate our results by two examples: in the first we estimate the distribution of the workload in an M/G/1 queue from observations of the input in fixed time intervals, and in the second we identify the distribution of the increments when observing a compound Poisson process at equidistant points in time (usually referred to as `decompounding).
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviors of the extreme of mixed skew-t distribution. We considered limits on distribution and density of maximum of mixed skew-t distribution under linear and power normalization, and further derived their hig her-order expansions, respectively. Examples are given to support our findings.
The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This article reviews recent progress i n the statistical modeling of spatial extremes, starting with sketches of the necessary elements of extreme value statistics and geostatistics. The main types of statistical models thus far proposed, based on latent variables, on copulas and on spatial max-stable processes, are described and then are compared by application to a data set on rainfall in Switzerland. Whereas latent variable modeling allows a better fit to marginal distributions, it fits the joint distributions of extremes poorly, so appropriately-chosen copula or max-stable models seem essential for successful spatial modeling of extremes.

Often in the analysis of first-order methods, assuming the existence of a quadratic growth bound (a generalization of strong convexity) facilitates much stronger convergence analysis. Hence the analysis is done twice, once for the general case and on ce for the growth bounded case. We give a meta-theorem for deriving general convergence rates from those assuming a growth lower bound. Applying this simple but conceptually powerful tool to the proximal point method, the subgradient method, and the bundle method immediately recovers their known convergence rates for general convex optimization problems from their specialized rates. Future works studying first-order methods can assume growth bounds for the sake of analysis without hampering the generality of the results. Our results can be applied to lift any rate based on a Holder growth bound. As a consequence, guarantees for minimizing sharp functions imply guarantees for both general functions and those satisfying quadratic growth.
