Ana Cristina Moreira Freitas's Annual Report

Year: 

2014

Brief description of the research activities: 

We studied large earthquakes in the scope of the Extreme Value Theory. We focused on the tails of the seismic moment distributions and we estimated relevant parameters, like the tail index and high order quantiles using the geometric-type estimators. We also studied the rates of convergence to the asymptotic extremal limiting distribution obtaining a connection with escape rates for open systems.
