For
0

a

{\displaystyle \ 0<a\leq 1\ }
the mean is infinite. For

≤

{\displaystyle \ 0<a\leq 2\ }
the variance is infinite.
The cumulative distribution function is

The distribution is named after Emil Julius Gumbel (1891 – 1966).
Generating random variates [ edit ]
Given a random variate
U
{\displaystyle \ U\ }
drawn from the uniform distribution in the interval
(
0
,
1
)
,
{\displaystyle \ (0,1)\ ,}
then the variate
X
=
(
−
ln
U
b
)
−
1
a
{\displaystyle X=\left(-{\frac {\ln U}{b}}\right)^{-{\frac {1}{a}}}\ }
has a Type-2 Gumbel distribution with parameter
a
{\displaystyle \ a\ }
and
b
.
{\displaystyle \ b~.}
This is obtained by applying the inverse transform sampling -method.
Substituting
b
=
λ
−
k
{\displaystyle \ b=\lambda ^{-k}\ }
and
a
=
−
k
{\displaystyle \ a=-k\ }
yields the Weibull distribution . Note, however, that a positive
k
{\displaystyle \ k\ }
(as in the Weibull distribution) would yield a negative
a
{\displaystyle \ a\ }
and hence a negative probability density, which is not allowed.
