Extremes

Introduction

The multifractal approach has highlighted the possibility of having so frequent extremes that their impact causes the divergence of the statistical moment. The following figure shows in log-log plot the probability of rain intensity to excess a threshold. An asymptotic power law was adjusted by linear regression (in log-log). The slope of this asymptote is an estimate of the critical order of divergence moments.
