Marginal: gamma-GP model

Sample of peaks over threshold y, with covariates θθ is 1D in motivating example : directionalθ is nD later : e.g. 4D spatio-directional-seasonal

Below threshold ψy follows truncated gamma with shape α, scale 1/β

Hessian for gamma better behaved than Weibull

Above ψy follows generalised Pareto with shape ξ, scale σ

ξ, σ, α, β, ψ all functions of θψ for pre-specified threshold probability τ

Return values

To get directional return values we can do 2 main approachesMonte Carlo simulation: easy to understand and simple to implement but slow. 10000 year eventscan take over a day to compute for the complex models we fit.Numerical integration: much faster, 100 fold improvement in return value calculation time.

Return values from Monte Carlo simulation

Consider directional-seasonal bin Sj (j = 1, 2, ...,m) centred on location Ij. Sj is sufficiently small thatall model parameters ρ are assumed constant within it.

For each realisation i, for each covariate bin j, with ωj = αj, ζj, ξj, νj, ψj1. Sample the number of storms

nij ∼ Poisson(ρj)

where ρj is the annual rate of occurrence.2. Sample nij ∗ T values from

Yij ∼ GammaGP(ωj)

where T is the return period.

T-year return values in Sj are then found by taking maximum over in each realisation and thenfinding the empirical cdfBins can be combined by taking maximum over bins.

Numerical integration of return values storm peaks

We define F(y|ωj) to be the cumulative distribution function of any storm peak event given ωj.We estimate the cumulative distribution function FMT

(y|ωj)

FMT(y|ωj) = P (MT < y)

=∞∑k=0

P(k events in Sj in T years

)× Pk (size of an event in Sj < y

)=

∞∑k=0

= exp(−Tρj

(1− F(y|ωj)

)).

Posterior predictive return values across bins

Since storm peak events are independent given covariates, we combine by taking the product

FMT(y|ω) =

m∏j=1

FMT(y|ωj)

The final estimate for FMT(y), unconditional on ω, is estimated by marginalising over ω

FMT(y) =

∫ω

FMT(y|ω)f(ω)dω

where f(ω) is the estimated posterior density for ω.

Numerical integration of return values with dissipation

For applications, it is also necessary to estimate the distribution of return value MTS(y) for maximumof sea state.We empirically estimate the storm dissipation function δ(S; j, y) for sea state HS in directional sector Sestimated from the sample of storm trajectories.Next we estimate the cumulative distribution function FDS(d|ωj) of DS, the dissipated sea state HS insector S from a random storm dissipating from directional-seasonal bin Sj

FDS(d|ωj) = P(DS ≤ d|ωj) =

∫yP(δ(S; j,Y) ≤ d|Y = y)f(y|ωj)dy

where f(y|ωj) is the marginal directional density of storm peak HS in directional-seasonal bin Sj

corresponding to cumulative distribution function F(y|ωj).

Summary

Evidence for covariate effects in marginal extremes of ocean stormsModelling non-stationarity essential for understanding extreme ocean storms, and estimating marine riskwellNon-parametric P-spline flexible basis for covariate descriptionEssential that non-stationary models are used for marginal, conditional and spatial extremes inference ofocean environmentCradle-to-grave uncertainty quantification

Numerical integration of return value provides a much faster way to estimate return values withoutthe need to resort to Monte Carlo simulation.Looking at way of modelling dissipation to avoid the empirical resamplingPaper accepted Ocean Engineering on Monday!http://www.lancs.ac.uk/ jonathan/RssEAMrgBys17.pdf
