ExtremeCI - Realistic Confidence Intervals for Non-Stationary Extreme Value
Statistics
This framework provides versatile algorithms to
efficiently infer confidence intervals for extreme value
statistics, such as extreme quantiles and return levels, that
are representative of the asymmetric uncertainty spread, using
extreme value theory extrapolation and the profile likelihood
(see e.g., Coles (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4471-3675-0>).
Unlike existing algorithms, the CI endpoints are found without
the need for a strict prespecified range, can be
covariate-dependent, and can be based on weighted samples. This
package is motivated by Zeder et al. (2023)
<doi:10.1029/2023GL104090> and by Pasche et al. (2026)
<doi:10.1007/s10687-026-00536-9>.
