Various tools for the analysis of univariate, multivariate and functional extremes. Exact simulation from max-stable processes (Dombry, Engelke and Oesting, 2016, doi:10.1093/biomet/asw008, R-Pareto processes for various parametric models, including Brown-Resnick (Wadsworth and Tawn, 2014, doi:10.1093/biomet/ast042) and Extremal Student (Thibaud and Opitz, 2015, doi:10.1093/biomet/asv045). Threshold selection methods, including Wadsworth (2016) doi:10.1080/00401706.2014.998345, and Northrop and Coleman (2014) doi:10.1007/s10687-014-0183-z. Multivariate extreme diagnostics. Estimation and likelihoods for univariate extremes, e.g., Coles (2001) doi:10.1007/978-1-4471-3675-0.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("mev", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mev

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
