Web page describing various software packages for performing extreme value analysis.

extRemes: R software package for performing extreme value analysis by Eric Gilleland and Rick Katz.

fields: R software package for performing geo-spatial statistical analysis by Doug Nychka et al.

ismev: R software package for performing extreme value analysis ported from S-plus by Alec Stephenson.

MET: Model Evaluation Tools.  Stand-alone software (has several dependencies) for performing weather forecast verification from NCAR's Joint Numerical Testbed in the Research Applications Laboratory.

LatticeKrig: R software package for performing a spatial method for large data sets that builds on compactly supported basis functions, Markov random fields and sparse matrix methods by Doug Nychka et al.

lenns: Lyapunov Exponents fit by Neural Networks by Doug Nychka et al.  Fits nonlinear autoregressive maps to multivariate time series data and estimates global and local Lyapunov Exponents.

nnreg: Neural Networks Package by Doug Nychka et al. Estimates a function using a single hidden layer neural network by nonlinear least squares. The fitting algorithm is both robust and accurate. Has supporting functions for diagnostics, GCV and graphing.
