    Statistics of extremes spatial statistics

    This dissertation consists of four major contributions to subasymptotic modeling of multivariate and spatial extremes. The dissertation proposes a multivariate skew-elliptical link model for correlated highly-imbalanced (extreme) binary responses, and shows that the regression coefficients have a closed-form unified skew-elliptical posterior with an elliptical prior.
