The last decade has seen development of a plethora of approaches for threshold estimation
in extreme value applications. From a statistical perspective, the threshold is loosely defined …

Extreme value theory is used to derive asymptotically motivated models for unusual or rare
events, eg the upper or lower tails of a distribution. A new flexible extreme value mixture …

Currently, the physiological mechanisms that allow elite level climbers to maintain intense
isometric contractions for prolonged periods of time are unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear …

Rugby union is a sport governed by the impacts of high force and high frequency. Analysis
