Abstract: This paper is devoted to the prediction problem in extreme value theory. Our main result is an explicit expression of the regular conditional distribution of a max-stable (or max-infinitely divisible) process ${eta(t)}_{tinT}$ given observations $eta(t_i)=y_i,1leqileqk$. Our starting point is the point process representation of max-infinitely divisible processes by Gin'e, Hahn and Vatan (1990). We carefully analyze the structure of the underlying point process, introduce the notions of extremal function, sub-extremal function and hitting scenario associated to the constraints and derive the associated distributions. This allows us to explicit the conditional distribution as a mixture over all hitting scenarios compatible with the conditioning constraints. This formula extends a recent related result by Wang and Stoev (2011) dealing with the case of spectrally discrete max-stable random fields. We believe this work offers new tools and perspective for prediction in extreme value theory together with numerous potential applications.

Review text

From the abstract: ``This paper is devoted to the prediction problem in extreme value theory. Our main result is an explicit expression of the regular conditional distribution of a max-stale (or max-infinitely divisible) process \(\left\{ \eta\left( t\right) \right\} _{t\in T}\) withgiven observations \(\left\{ \eta\left( t_{i}\right) =y_{i},1\leq i\leq k\right\} \). [~\dots] We carefully analize the structure of the underlying point process, introduce the notions of extremal functions, sub-extremal functions and hitting scenarios associated to the constraints and derive the associated distributions. This allows us to explicit the conditional distribution as a mixture over all hitting scenarios compatible with the conditioning constraints. [\dots] This paper offers new tools and a perspective for the prediction in extreme value theory together with numerous potential applications.
