A novel method with a rigorous theoretical foundation is proposed for establishing robust short-term distributions of load extremes of offshore wind turbines. Based on the wind turbine load time series, the proposed method begins with incorporating a declustering algorithm into the peaks over...

In the framework of the general linear model, residuals are routinely used to check model assumptions, such as homoscedasticity, normality, and linearity of effects. Residuals can also be employed to detect possible outliers. Various types of residuals may be defined for linear mixed models. It...
