Climate change in a Point-Over-Threshold model: an example on ocean-wave-storm hazard in NE Spain

A reparametrization of the Generalized Pareto Distribution is here proposed. It is suitable to parsimoniously check trend assumptions within a Point-Over-Threshold model of hazardous events. This is based on considerations about the scale of both the excesses of the event magnitudes and the distribu...
