Parameter Estimation in Extreme Value Models with Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

In this thesis I have studied how to estimate parameters in an extreme value model with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) given a data set. This is done with synthetic Gaussian time series generated by spectral densities, called spectrums, with a "box" shape. Three different spectrums have b...
