2. Extreme events: a statistical approach

In order to introduce the notion of extreme events, we first briefly recall in this section several statistical elements that are prerequisites to a quantitative analysis of optical freeze waves. Please refer to [R 221] for a more detailed analysis of these concepts.

2.1 Stability of a random system

In order to deal statistically with the occurrence of random events, the most common approach is to consider random draws following a well-defined distribution....
