  <dc:title>Ratio-of-Uniforms Sampling for Bayesian Extreme Value Analysis</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package revdbayes version 1.5.7</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Bayesian (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Bayesian)</dc:subject>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Distributions (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Distributions)</dc:subject>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: ExtremeValue (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=ExtremeValue)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of extreme value
    models.  The 'rust' package &lt;https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust&gt; is
    used to simulate a random sample from the required posterior distribution.
    The functionality of 'revdbayes' is similar to the 'evdbayes' package
    &lt;https://cran.r-project.org/package=evdbayes&gt;, which uses Markov Chain
    Monte Carlo ('MCMC') methods for posterior simulation.  In addition, there
    are functions for making inferences about the extremal index, using 
    the models for threshold inter-exceedance times of Suveges and Davison 
    (2010) &lt;doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292&gt; and Holesovsky and Fusek (2020) 
    &lt;doi:10.1007/s10687-020-00374-3&gt;. Also provided are d,p,q,r functions for 
    the Generalised Extreme Value ('GEV') and Generalised Pareto ('GP') 
    distributions that deal appropriately with cases where the shape parameter 
    is very close to zero.</dc:description>
