Abstract

In practice, it is not possible to observe a whole max-stable random field. Therefore, we propose a method to reconstruct a max-stable random field in C([0, 1]k) by interpolating its realizations at finitely many points. The resulting interpolating process is again a max-stable random field. This approach uses a generalized max-linear model. Promising results have been established in the k = 1 case of Falk et al. (2015). However, the extension to higher dimensions is not straightforward since we lose the natural order of the index space.
