	Extreme value theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extreme value theory is a branch of statistics dealing with the extreme deviations from the median of probability distributions.
		Extreme value distributions are the limiting distributions for the minimum or the maximum of a very large collection of random observations from the same arbitrary distribution.
		The field of extreme value theory was founded by the German mathematician, pacifist, and anti-Nazi campaigner Emil Julius Gumbel who described the Gumbel distribution in the 1950s.

		In probability theory (and especially gambling), the expected value (or mathematical expectation) of a random variable is the sum of the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by its payoff ("value").
		To empirically estimate the expected value of a random variable, one repeatedly measures observations of the variable and computes the arithmetic mean of the results.
		This estimates the true expected value in an unbiased manner and has the property of minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (the sum of the squared differences between the observations and the estimate).

	Extreme value theory
		Extreme value theory is a branch of statistics dealing with the extreme deviations from the median of probability distribution s.
		Two approaches exist today: # Most common at this moment is the tail-fitting approach based on the second theorem in extreme value theory (Theorem II Pickands (1975), Balkema and de Haan (1974)).
		Extreme value theory is important for assessing risk for highly unusual events, such as 100-year flood s.
