Statistics of Weather and Climate Extremes


Toolkit


The Extremes Toolkit (extRemes) consists of functions written in "R" (The R Project for Statistical Computing) to perform extreme value analysis. Knowledge of R is not necessarily required, as a graphical user interface is provided. A tutorial explains how the toolkit can be used to treat weather and climate extremes in a realistic manner (e.g., taking into account diurnal and annual cycles, trends, physically-based covariates). This toolkit is being developed and maintained by Eric Gilleland (it was originally started by Greg Young). We gratefully acknowledge permission from Stuart Coles to make use of his "S" functions.
