Proper name [English]

Forms: the Fisher-Tippett-Gnedenko theorem [canonical]
Head templates: {{en-prop|def=1}} the Fisher-Tippett-Gnedenko theorem
  1. (statistics) A general result in extreme value theory regarding asymptotic distribution of extreme order statistics. The maximum of a sample of iid random variables after proper renormalization can only converge in distribution to one of three possible distribution families: the Gumbel distribution, the Fréchet distribution, or the Weibull distribution.
