| Extreme value | The largest and the smallest element of a set are called extreme values, or extreme records. (references) | ||
| Extreme value theorem | In calculus, the extreme value theorem states that if a function f(x) is continuous in the closed interval [a,b] then f(x) must attain its maximum and minimum value, each at least once. (references) | ||
| Generalized extreme value distribution | In probability theory and statistics, the generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) is a family of continuous probability distributions developed within extreme value theory to combine the Gumbel, Fréchet and Weibull families also known as type I, II and III extreme value distributions. Its importance arises from the fact that it is the limit distribution of the maxima of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. Because of this, the GEV is used as an approximation to model the maxima of long (finite) sequences of random variables. (references) | ||

| Extreme value | Aerospace | In statistics, the upper or lower bound of the random variable which is not expected to be exceeded by a specified percentage of the population within a given confidence interval. (references) | |
| Extreme Value Series | Administration | Hydrological series which includes the largest or smallest values, with each value selected from an equal time interval in the record. (references) | |
| Type iii extreme value distribution | Statistics | A distribution proposed by Weibull(1939)to describe data arising from life and fatigue tests. It was later derived as a model for this kind of data as the third asymptotic distribution of extreme values. Source: European Union. (references) | |
