The extremal coefficient function has been discussed as an analog of the autocovariance function for extreme values. However, as to the behavior of valid extremal coefficient functions little is known apart from their positive definite type. In particular, the reconstruction of valid processes...

We present properties of a dependence measure that arises in the study of extreme values in multivariate and spatial problems. For multivariate problems the dependence measure characterises dependence at the bivariate level, for all pairs and all higher orders up to and including the dimension...

We present a new approach to treatment assignment in (field) experiments for the case of one or multiple treatment groups. This approach - which we call minimizing MSE approach - uses sample characteristics to obtain balanced treatment groups. Compared to other methods, the min MSE procedure is...

We prove that a stationary max-infinitely divisible process is mixing (ergodic) iff its dependence function converges to 0 (is Cesàro summable to 0). These criteria are applied to some classes of max-infinitely divisible processes.
