Extremes

Extremes is a Springer journal of statistical extreme value theory, carrying the subtitle Statistical Theory and Applications in Science, Engineering and Economics and publishing original research on the analysis of rare and large events together with reviews and case studies.《极值》是 Springer 出版的统计极值理论期刊，副题 Statistical Theory and Applications in Science, Engineering and Economics，刊载稀有事件与超大事件分析的原始研究，兼收评论与案例研究。

Its subject line runs between probability and statistics, taking tail estimation, heavy-tailed time series and multivariate tail dependence as method and ocean waves, rainfall, financial loss and system reliability as application, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 1.9.其学科位置在概率论与统计学之间，方法一侧有尾部估计，重尾时间序列与多元尾部相依，应用一侧有海浪，降雨，金融损失与系统可靠度，2025 年影响因子为 1.9。

Scope

• The scope statement is broad by design, covering original work on all aspects of statistical extreme value theory and on its use in science, engineering, economics and yet other fields.范围声明的宽泛是有意为之，涵盖统计极值理论各方面的原创研究，以及该理论在科学，工程，经济学与其它领域的使用。

• Reviews carry comparable weight, authoritative and timely surveys of theoretical advances and of extreme value methods and problems in important applied areas, including detailed case studies, being announced as a regular feature.评论文章分量相当，官网写明理论进展的权威述评与重要应用领域中极值方法与问题的评述，含详细案例研究，列为常设内容。

• Oceanography and hydrology stand first among the named application fields, where extreme waves, heavy rainfall and flood peaks mark out the hazards to be modelled.海洋学与水文学在所列应用领域中居首，海浪，强降雨与洪峰在其中界定待模拟的灾害。

• Meteorology contributes high wind speeds and extreme temperatures, insurance contributes the treatment of catastrophic claims, and the prospectus sets both beside the problems extreme value methods are asked to handle.气象学带来高风速与极端温度，保险业带来巨灾理赔的处理，创刊说明把二者并列为极值方法所处理的问题。

• Structural safety and materials work is in scope because the waveforms and extremes of random loads are what determine lifetimes under corrosion and metal fatigue.结构安全与材料研究在收录之列，理由是随机荷载的波形与极值正是决定腐蚀与金属疲劳下使用寿命的量。

• Environmental health enters by way of high concentrations of pollutants, which the prospectus presents as a quantifiable hazard rather than a merely described phenomenon.环境健康经由高浓度污染物进入范围，创刊说明把此类事件写作可量化的危害，而不只是待描述的现象。

• Finance and macroeconomics are covered through large fluctuations in asset, share and bond prices and in exchange and interest rates, whose consequences for the economy the text stresses.金融与宏观经济经由资产，股票与债券价格以及汇率与利率的大幅波动进入范围，声明强调其对经济造成的后果。

• Risk and reliability theory holds a place of its own, the scope note observing that much of that literature is concerned with extreme occurrences.风险与可靠性理论自居一席，范围说明指出该支文献处理的对象多为极端事件。

• On the method side the list names tail estimation, statistical process control, sequential analysis and heavy-tailed models for time series as fields closely related to the theory.方法一侧的清单列出尾部估计，统计过程控制，序贯分析与重尾时间序列模型，认为它们与极值理论关系密切。

• Computation is admitted in its own right, with numerical methods, optimization, simulation and resampling recognized as parts of extreme value statistics.计算本身亦被纳入，数值方法，最优化，模拟与重抽样都被视为极值统计的组成部分。

• Multivariate and spatial extremes form a visible current, recent issues carrying papers on the block quantiles method, conditional extremes for precipitation and scale-aware tail dependence in high dimensions.多元与空间极值构成可见的潮流，近几期收有块分位数方法，降水条件极值以及高维尺度感知尾部相依等论文。

• The prospectus grounds its breadth in a complaint, noting that work on statistical extremes had been scattered over probability journals, statistical journals and the periodicals of hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, reliability, civil engineering, economics, finance and physics.创刊说明把宽泛取向立于一项弊端之上，指出统计极值研究此前散见于概率学期刊，统计学期刊，以及水文学，海洋学，气象学，可靠性，土木工程，经济学，金融学与物理学的刊物。

• That fragmentation, the same text argues, long delayed the passage of theory into practice and slowed the return of applied problems to theorists, and the stated purpose of the serial is to shorten both journeys with one unified forum.同一说明认为，这种分散长期延缓理论进入实践，也延缓应用问题回到理论工作者手中，刊物自陈的宗旨是以一个统一论坛缩短这两段路程。

• Applied papers therefore meet readers who already know the mathematics, while specialists find discussions of urgent applied problems, a division of labour the aims page sets out in those terms.因此应用类论文得以直接面对懂得数学的读者，专门工作者则在此找到迫切应用问题的讨论，范围页正是以这类分工表述其取向。
