Mathematical Formulation

Extreme Value Theory models the statistical behavior of extreme deviations in probability distributions. We use quantum amplitude estimation to achieve quadratic speedup in quantile estimation.

Generalized Extreme Value Distribution

G(z) = exp{ -[1 + ξ(z-μ)/σ]^{-1/ξ} } GEV Cumulative Distribution Function Where: ξ = shape parameter, μ = location, σ = scale Quantile: z_p such that G(z_p) = 1-p Quantum Complexity: O(1/ε) vs Classical O(1/ε²)
