摘要
We derive a closed form expression for the likelihood function of a Gaussian max-stable process indexed by R-d at p < d+1 sites, d >= 1. We demonstrate the gain in efficiency in the maximum composite likelihood estimators of the covariance matrix from p=2 to p=3 sites in R-2 by means of a Monte Carlo simulation study.
