Better GEV confidence intervals

With this release, a better way of computing confidence intervals of a fitted GEV model is introduced. Since this change removes a function and a file that became obsolete, it marks the beginning of the new subversion 1.2. Confidence intervals computed with the new method should generally turn out to be smaller than confidence intervals that were estimated with code of v1.1 and earlier. The new method is demonstrated in two files for time-independent GEV models, one for monthly maxima (modified) and one for annual maxima (new).

This modification has no impact on time-dependent GEV models, like those discussed by Reinert et al. (2021).

Release with full citation information

With this release, the README file contains full information for citing the code and the corresponding paper. The code has not changed compared to the previous release.

Modification of a figure in our statistical extreme surge analysis tools

The code that creates the figure showing the winter shift in different stations has been updated. It produces now a figure which shows confidence intervals instead of error bars, just like the figure in our manuscript.

The logic of the code stayed unchanged.

Update to the first release of our statistical extreme surge analysis tools

This release contains an improvement to our analysis of different stations (which has been renamed as well) and corrects a mistake in the figure created by this script.

Also, more information has been added to the README file.

First release of our statistical extreme surge analysis tools

This is the first release of our Python tools for statistical extreme value analysis of storm surge levels. It contains the code necessary to reproduce the results of the submitted manuscript by Reinert et al. (2021).
