The Weibull distribution is widely used in the parametric analysis of lifetime data. In place of the Weibull distribution, it is often more convenient to work with the equivalent extreme value distribution, which is the logarithm of the Weibull distribution. The main advantage in working with the extreme value distribution is that unlike the Weibull distribution, the extreme value distribution has location and scale parameters. This paper is devoted to a discussion of statistical inferences for the extreme value distribution with censored data. Numerical simulations are performed to examine the finite sample behaviors of the estimators of the parameters. These procedures are then applied to real-world data.

In extreme values theory, there exist two approaches about data treatment: block maxima and peaks-over-threshold (POT) methods, which take in account data over a fixed value. But, those approaches are limited. We show that if a certain geometry is modeled with stochastic graphs, probabilities computed with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) Distribution can be deflated. In other words, taking data geometry in account change extremes distribution. Otherwise, it appears that if the density characterizing the states space of data system is uniform, and if the quantile studied is positive, then the Weibull distribution is insensitive to data geometry, when it is an area attraction, and the Fréchet distribution becomes the less inflationary.
