Workshop 02

This workshop will apply extreme value analysis to a real wave dataset from the North Sea. It is partly a review of MUDE material, but you will be asked to use the new material from your lecture on Tuesday to validate the threshold of the GPD distribution that you choose. Most of the code is written for you, but you will need to implement one or more of the validation methods.

Instructions (part 1) - the logistics:

• make sure you and your group members have a GitHub account
• using the link, create/join a group on GitHub (you can choose your own group name): classroom.github.com/a/3HVLnujt
• make sure you send Robert and email informing him of your group members and GitHub usernames (include the info provided here!)

Instructions (Part 2) - the analysis:

• work through the notebook Analysis.ipynb, completing all tasks (answering questions with text in the notebook is optional).
• write answers to the questions in the file Report.md
• commit your files back to the repository

Due date: make your last commit before 4am on Tuesday, May 7, 2024.

You should be able to complete this assignment with any Anaconda package from MUDE, as the assignment only requires numpy, matplotlib pandas and scipy. Remember to activate it before starting your Jupyter session (e.g., conda activate mude).
