Does anyone here have knowledge of extreme value theory in statistics or engineering?

I've recently learned that the maximum of a large number of independent, identically distributed normal random variables is a approximately distributed like the Gumbel distribution.

But I have not been able to find anywhere how to derive the parameters of that gumbel distribution from the mean and variance of the normal random variables whose maximum is being taken.

e.g.
If Xi are independent distributed Normal(mu , sigma^2) then max{X1, X2, X3, ... , X100000} is distributed Gumbel

But what are the parameters of that gumbel in terms of mu and sigma^2 ?

where in the last part of the post, mu is the mean of the Xi normal variables and sigma^2 is the variance of the Xi normal variables.

and the normal variables are i.i.d.

So, if someone goes to the Moon and finds no flag there would it mean the landing was faked?

Yeah, if there's no flag next to the footprints, the rover and the remains of the lunar lander, it was all a hoax.

You have two parents.

Your parents have two parents each, making the total people in your lineage at that generation four.

Carry on the sequence (2, 4, 8, 16) and you get 2^n.

Now if we go back 2000 years, then n will mostly likely be around 60, because on average generations are just under 30 years apart, and 2000 / 30 ~ 67.

Plug 60 into 2^n and you get 1.1529215e+18.

That means, 2000 years ago, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 people were alive and had offspring to produce you.

Where is the flaw in this?

That means, 2000 years ago, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 people were alive and had offspring to produce US.

you are describing the genepool as a whole

but an individual is only related to a fraction of year 15 population.

also the generation gap should also be a complex number
>>
>>7666376

Look at the heritage tree, 8 generations ago is the top row, how many of your ancestors are alive to eventually make you? Continue 60 generations ago and you get an impossibly large number.

The years and gap isn't important.

thanks for the bump i guess
>>
I got a 60% on a graph theory midterm but after the curve it was a 100% because it was the high score in the class.

I asked the prof and he said an average student who studies very hard should get a 50% on his exams before curving and anything above a 50% is considered very good work.

I kinda hate curves though.
