“…Earthquakes, he was related to. When I started working on this paper (Yegulalp and Kuo 1974), I had issues that the classical approach was not going to solve the problem and I went back to him. Our last meeting was at his home, still working on this topic.…”

GUMBEL. Eponym in mathematical statistics for the first type extreme value distribution and the copula that is both of extreme value and Archimedean kind. Hydrologists appreciate Emil J. Gumbel as a pioneer in promoting non-normal distributions in their field. Historians rank him among the most influential German intellectuals of the Weimar Republic. He disclosed secret societies that destabilized the Weimar Republic and used statistical methods to document political murders and to reveal a biased legal system. He was the first professor who lost his position for his political ideals and his stand against the national socialistic party, his books were banned and burned.

“…The statistical analysis of largest values has been carried out by many siesmologists (LOMNITZ, 1966;KARMIC and HUBERNOVA, 1968;SHAKAL and WILLIS, 1972;CHE'N and LIN, 1973;YEGULALP and KUO, 1974;HATTORI, 1979;HOWELL, 1981;KIM, 1981). KIM (1981) studied the comparison between the third asymptotic distribution and the modified first asymptotic distribution that was developed by CHE'N and LIN (1973).…”

“…Common quantities considered as measures of seismicity are the maximum observed magnitude M max (e.g. Yegulalp & Kuo, 1974;Koravos et al, 2003;Ryall & van Wormer, 1980), the annual number N(M) or the mean return period T m of earthquakes (Comninakis, 1975) with magnitudes greater or equal to a given value M, etc. The knowledge of the return period is of great importance in studying and analyzing earthquake hazard and/or seismicity.…”
