Abstract
The method of extreme values, MEV, is based on the elementary probabilistic RelReqs (8.13) and (8.14). Its principles will be explained on a one-component case; both the attack and the barrier are expressed as scalar quantities. Similarly as in the previous chapter on MEF, the attack and barrier will be assumed statistically independent. The same assumption is made on elementary random variables a i and b j (as for the dependence problem, see 2.1.3).
