Extreme precipitation is investigated based on data simulated by six regional climate models (RCM) from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). A hierarchical Bayesian model is used with a Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution of the local data in which the spatial distribution of parameters is described by a regression model with multivariate spatial random effects. The IAR (improper spatial conditional autoregressive) model is used as the prior distribution of this random effect. The model is implemented using a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation with a Gibbs sampler.
