Abstract
The analysis of seasonal or annual block maxima is of interest in fields such as hydrology, climatology or meteorology. In connection with the celebrated method of block maxima, we study several tests that can be used to assess whether the available series of maxima is identically distributed. It is assumed that block maxima are independent but not necessarily generalized extreme value distributed. The asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics are investigated and the practical computation of approximate p-values is addressed. Extensive Monte-Carlo simulations show the adequate finite-sample behavior of the studied tests for a large number of realistic data generating scenarios. Illustrations on several environmental datasets conclude the work.
