Title: Online lecture series on extreme value theory
Abstract: In Part I of this lecture series, I will try first to provide an overview of the modelling aspects, avoiding mathematical details as much as possible. A basic understanding of probability is a must. Basic real analysis is also a must (convergence of a sequence and sequence of functions are essential). It will involve some knowledge of the convergence concepts in probability. I will try to explain this whenever needed and feel free to ask any questions in case of any confusion. However, a good understanding of the convergence concepts in probability and functions will make the lectures more accessible and appealing.
