Researchers have developed a new simulation-based estimation approach using generative neural networks to model the spatial dependence of precipitation maxima. This methodology allows for the estimation of max-stable process parameters and their uncertainty, while also providing a nonparametric estimate of spatial dependence through the pairwise extremal coefficient function. The approach was demonstrated to be effective and robust, even in complex scenarios where traditional likelihood estimation is intractable. It was applied to study monthly rainfall maxima in Western Germany, including the extreme event in July 2021. AI
