It states some new theoretical results in D-norm terminology, but also gives an explaination why most approaches to multivariate extremes are equivalent to this specific approach. Then it covers new methods to deal with high-dimensional extremes, ranging from dimension reduction to exploratory methods and explaining why the Huessler-Reiss model is a powerful parametric model in multivariate extremes on par with the multivariate Gaussian distribution in multivariate regular statistics. It also gives new results for estimating and inferring the multivariate extremal dependence structure, strategies for choosing thresholds and compares the behavior of local and global threshold approaches. The methods are demonstrated in an artifical simulation study, but also on German weather data.}, subject = {Extremwertstatistik}, language = {en} }
