AbstractAn extension of the threshold method for extreme values is developed, to consider the joint distribution of extremes of two variables. The methodology is based on the point process representation of bivariate extremes. Both parametric and nonparametric models are considered. The simplest case to handle is that in which both marginal distributions are known. For the more realistic case in which the marginal distributions are unknown, a mixed parametric-nonparametric method is proposed. The techniques are illustrated with data on sulphate and nitrate levels taken from a major study of acid rain.
