| Abstract: | This study presents a new method for calculating return values. The essence of the method is that it utilizes nonstationary
data to calculate the return value for a region in the Northeast Pacific. The nonstationary data was obtained from a model
which was previously developed for the behavior of the significant wave height as a function of time in the region. The method
is illustrated by convolving two generalized Pareto distribution functions fitted to two parts of the model, computing a suitable
extreme value from the new distribution function, and calculating the return value using this extreme value. |
