| Jun 15, 2025 | Accepted: Our paper on Graphical models for infinite measures with applications to extremes (Sebastian Engelke, Jevgenijs Ivanovs, Kirstin Strokorb) has been accepted for publication in The Annals of Applied Probability. A presentation of the general framework can be found here. Some novelties in the paper that are not in the talk: a Hammersley-Clifford type theorem and an Asymptotic Independent example. Also thank you for the opportunity to present this work at UCL Statistical Science seminar! |

| Sep 22, 2022 | Organised: Workshops on Extremal Trends in Weather (WET Weather) - the second edition took place 19-21 September 2022 jointly with Marie Ekström and Owen Jones. The workshops were supported by the RSS Mardia Award for interdisciplinary research meetings. The knowledge exchange enhancement of the second meeting has been supported by an Innovation for All grant. Here is a brief summary of the second meeting and a short summary of the first meeting. Many thanks for everyone’s contributions! |

| Dec 07, 2020 | Congratulations to Jonas Brehmer on his successful PhD viva! Jonas’ work on Theory and Methodology of scoring functions: Tail properties, interval forecasts and point processes has led to several publications including Why scoring rules cannot assess tail properties (EJS 2019), Scoring interval forecasts: Equal-tailed, shortest, and model interval (Bernoulli 2021) and Comparative evaluation of point process forecasts (AISM 2024). |
| Feb 22, 2020 | RSS discussion: On 12 February 2020 the Royal Statistical Society hosted a meeting to discuss the forth-coming paper Graphical models for extremes by Sebastian Engelke and Adrien Hitz. Here is the link to the slides and the extended version of my discussion contribution (including the proofs). |
