37. -e-y. The present form (13a), however, has a natural scale for the extremal variable. Namely, in order to test whether an empirical extremal quantity z is of the FTG class, one can compute the variable y = (z -〈z〉)/Δz, where (z) and Δz are the mean and the standard deviation of z, respectively, and compare the distribution of y to Eq. (13).
38. Traditionally, the term parent PDF refers to the single distribution function of iid variabbs, but we shall speak about parent PDFs also in the case, when the variables are independent, but differently distributed.
