Original abstract

When dealing with extreme values estimation, the threshold models are often used. However, a proper threshold selection is one of the problems which have to be solved. In this paper, we concentrate on this issue in order to compare an automated threshold selection based on multiple-threshold model with double bootstrap technique based on semi-parametric estimation. A case study is carried out to evaluate estimations of intensity-duration-frequency curves which represent commonly used hydrological tool. A special attention is also paid to the assessment of an impact of the series length on the estimation quality.
