Title: Modelling dependence between hydrological and meteorological variables measured on several stations Author: Bc. Marie Turčičová Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Daniela Jarušková CSc., Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Mathematics Abstract: The aim of the thesis is to explore the dependence of daily discharge averages of the Opava river on high daily precipitation values in its basin. Three methods are presented that can be used for analyzing the dependence between high values of random variables. Their application on the studied data is also given. First it is the tail-dependence coefficient that measures the dependence between high values of two continuous random variables. The model for the high quantiles of the discharge at a given precipitation value was first determined non-parametrically by quantile regression and then parametrically through the peaks-over-threshold (POT) method. Keywords: extremal dependence, tail-dependence coefficient, quantile regression, peaks over threshold method

Extreme value theory
Pelinka, Adam ; Čabla, Adam (advisor) ; Gerthofer, Michal (referee)
Extreme value theory is a modern statistical method for modelling events with a very low probability. During the analysis, we deal with convergence of distribution of these extremal events to their limit distributions. These distributions are generalized extreme value distribution and generalized Pareto distribution, which estimate tails of empirical probability distribution, where extremal events occur. In the last years, extreme value theory is used in many fields of study, e.g. in estimating financial risk or in estimating size of floods. In this work, two methods of modelling extremal events are presented - block maxima method and peaks over threshold method. Both methods are used during the real data analysis of daily discharge of river Vltava and estimated models are summarized. Although both used methods give slightly different results, choice of the appropriate model is not clear.
