Finite-State Extreme Effect Variable
We generalize to the finite-state case the notion of the extreme effect variable $Y$ that accumulates all the effect of a variant variable $V$ observed in changes of another variable $X$. We conduct theoretical analysis and turn the problem of finding of an effect variable into a problem of a simultaneous decomposition of a set of distributions. The states of the extreme effect variable, on the one hand, are minimally affected by the variant variable $V$ and, on the other hand, are extremely different with respect to the observable variable $X$. We apply our technique to online evaluation of a web search engine through A/B testing and show its utility.

Diversification for infinite-mean Pareto models without risk aversion
We study stochastic dominance between portfolios of independent and identically distributed (iid) extremely heavy-tailed (i.e., infinite-mean) Pareto random variables. With the notion of majorization order, we show that …
Regression modelling of spatiotemporal extreme U.S. wildfires via partially-interpretable neural networks
Risk management in many environmental settings requires an understanding of the mechanisms that drive extreme events. Useful metrics for quantifying such risk are extreme quantiles of response variables conditioned on pr…

Extremal graphical models encode the conditional independence structure of multivariate extremes and provide a powerful tool for quantifying the risk of rare events. Prior work on learning these graphs from data has focu…
Regular Variation in Hilbert Spaces and Principal Component Analysis for Functional Extremes
Motivated by the increasing availability of data of functional nature, we develop a general probabilistic and statistical framework for extremes of regularly varying random elements $X$ in $L^2[0,1]$. We place ourselves …
Dimensionality ReductionOut-of-Distribution generalization of quantile regression with heavy tailed inputs: an SVM approach
We study quantile regression in an extrapolation regime where the covariate takes unusually large values. Under regular variation assumptions, extreme observations can be effectively characterized through their angular c…
