It leads to natural dsasters such as floods and landsldes. Predcton of precptaton return level,.e. quantle whch has probablty /m of beng exceeded n m perod, become qute mportant to reduce the negatve mpact caused by ths extreme event. The lnk between observaton recorded on a partcular tme frame and quanttes of longer tme scales such as return level s provded by Extreme Value Theory (EVT) commonly used to learn the behavors of extreme events. Gven the observatons are recorded from several locatons, the extreme events at dfferent locatons are drven by geographcal and clmatologcally factors. Unfortunately, the data of these factors are not always avalable. In ths study, the spatal Bayesan herarchcal model (BHM) was employed to update the nformaton n the lkelhood that s not fully descrbed by those unobservable covarates. The proposed method was appled to predct the extreme precptaton return level n Lamongan dstrct, East Java, Indonesa. The Peak Over Threshold (POT) scheme was used to obtan extreme observatons. The pror dstrbuton was employed to update the lkelhood of Generalzed Pareto Dstrbuton as an asymptotc dstrbuton of exceedng resulted from POT procedure. The emprcal results showed that the return level got hgher for longer perods. Keywords: Extreme value theory, Peaks Over Threshold, Bayesan herarchcal model, spatal, return level. M 09 I. INTRODUCTION Extreme value theory (EVT) s a method that s commonly used to analyze extreme natural events. Such extreme events assocated wth the locaton are called spatal extreme value. The ntensve ran that usually happens durng the rany season can cause floods and landsldes. These dsasters are examples of negatves effect caused by extreme events. The studes to learn these extreme phenomena are qute mportant to predct and antcpate ther occurrence n the future. The EVT s used to analyze the heavy-taled dstrbuton of the extreme events. There are two approaches used EVT: () Block Maxma (BM) approach that has the Generalzed Extreme Value (GEV) dstrbuton and () Peaks over Threshold (POT) approach that follows the Generalzed Pareto Dstrbuton (GPD) dstrbuton. These research employed POT scheme. The characterstcs of the GPD are expressed by the three parameters of EVT,.e. threshold ( u ), scale ( ), and shape ( ). One of the most mportant thngs n the EVT s to calculate the value of return level,.e. the probablty of occurrence of a partcular level of extreme events n the comng perod. Knowledge of the return level s mportant for dsaster mtgaton and for the preparaton of long-term programs []. Ths paper dscusses the procedures to obtan the parameters estmates GPD and to calculate the return level usng Bayesan Herarchcal Model (BHM). The BHM s chosen because t has some advantages, for nstance, t able to accommodate geography and clmatology at each level of the herarchy structure. Ths paper s organzed as follows. Ths secton s followed by a secton for a method that brefly dscuss POT and BHM. The next part s used to descrbe the data and research methodology. The last part gves concluson and suggestons. M - 5

Peaks Over Threshold (POT) POT s one of the methods to dentfy the extreme value by usng the so-called threshold (u) as a reference value. The data above the threshold wll be dentfed as extreme values. Fgure shows how to collect extreme data usng POT. The values of, and are larger than the threshold (u) therefore these sx data are consdered as extreme values that wll be used n further analyss u F FIGURE. ILLUSTRATION OF EXTREME DATA COLLECTION USING POT The hgher threshold s the hgher probablty that the extremes wll approach the GPD []. The probablty densty functon (pdf) of GPD s formulated as follow: f x u x u, 0 exp x u, 0 () where 0 x u f 0 and u x u u f 0 parameter and shape parameter (the tal ndex), respectvely.. The and n () represent scale B. Parameter Estmaton of Generalzed Pareto Dstrbuton Parameter estmaton of GPD can be done usng several ways. One of them commonly used s a Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton (MLE) that maxmzes the lkelhood functon of y, y,, y n, where y x u. Therefore, the equaton () s rewrtten n () as follows: f,, y The log-lkelhood functon of () s expressed as: y, 0 exp y, 0 n y ln L, y, y,, y n ln ln n () (3) M - 5

The Newton-Raphson was employed to solve ths ssue. C. Determnaton of the Threshold The extreme values were obtaned once the threshold (u) was determned as a reference value. The determnaton of the threshold ams to fnd the optmum balance n order to obtan the mnmum error. In ths paper, the Mean Resdual Lfe Plot (MRLP) was used to determne the threshold wth the followng steps.. Frst, makng the MRP wth the coordnates of the ponts based on the followng equaton, n u u, x u : u x n maks u (6) where n u s the number of observatons above the threshold.

Chosen value threshold pont when the plot began to form a lnear pattern around the value of u. D. Autocorrelaton Functon (ACF) In ths paper, the ACF was employed to detect f the extreme values larger than the threshold has a stochastc nature. Stochastc nature s random nature that can only be explaned by a dstrbuton [3]. Therefore, when the ACF s not sgnfcant or statonary, t s necessary to declusterng data that take the extreme values of the hghest n the range (r) determned n advance usng the extremal ndex at (8) [4].

In ths paper, f the slope values that are not statonary, then the groupngs of locatons wth non-herarchcal clusterng method,.e. k-mean cluster, was employed. The number of groups was determned usng the average value of slhouette coeffcent calculated as n (9) [5]: S j B j k O j O j B j k mn, (9) max,, (8) M - 53

Bayesan Herarchcal Model (BHM) The purpose of usng BHM s to accommodate geographcal and clmatologcal nformaton nto the dstrbuton of parameters and to update the parameters through the data that were known as a posteror dstrbuton. The posteror dstrbuton was determned by the followng Bayes theorem. z k, j, c k, j y k, j, (0) p θ, θ Z s p Z s θ p θ θ p 3 θ, () where c k, js the constant transformaton of resultng the cluster, z k, j, s the result of the transformaton n the cluster k, staton j, and observaton.

DATA AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Ths secton dscusses how to obtan estmates of the parameters and return level for the modelng of extreme precptaton events usng BHM.

The Anderson Darlng test wth null hypothess assumes that the extreme observaton follows GPD. Ths test was employed usng R software wth command gpdad(y) from EVA package. The observaton n all locatons follows GPD as P-values are larger than Type-I error 5%. The next step s estmatng the scale and shape parameter by means of MLE. The results are summarzed n Table.

The sgnfcant parameters can be used n the model. Thus, t can be concluded that the lattude and longtude varable are sutable for spatal models but not sutable as an effect of predctor models. The model of layer process wth equal to zero s expressed n (5): s MVN 0, θ θ Σ p ~ (5) Havng obtaned a sgnfcant model, the next step s to estmate the scale and shape parameter as reported n Table 4.

In 08 (fve years return level), the predcted heavest ranfall daly n Babat Staton s 30.9 mm. The return level ncreased for twenty years become mm contnuously ncreased for longer perods. Ths also happened n other sx locatons. IV. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS Ths paper showed the procedure for obtanng estmates of GPD parameters and calculatng the return level usng a Bayesan Herarchcal models appled to ranfall data n Lamongan. The locaton nformaton represented by longtude and lattude varable were consdered as an nput varable n the model. The emprcal result shows that these two varables are not sgnfcant n the mean model. The return level got hgher for longer perods n all statons. These emprcal fndngs suggest that the future research should explore other clmatology varables as nput n the model.
