In his fundamental work on limit behaviour of normalized maxima from independent (not necessary identically distributed) random variables, D. Mejzler (1956) showed that the limit df \(G\) possesses a \(\log\)-concave property provided that the uniform negligibility condition is met. Denote the class of all such df's by \(\mathcal M\). The author demonstrates a method to fit a given df \(G\in\mathcal M\) to extreme value data, based on his former results (1975) on extremal processes generated by Poisson point processes whose mean measure at \(B=(x,\infty)\) is \(\lambda(x)=-\log G(x)\).
