 Max-stable distribution

A non-degenerate distribution function is max-stable when every sample maximum of $n$ independent and identically distributed random variables can be positively scaled and centered to have the original law. Thus for every integer $n\ge 1$ there are $a_n>0,b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ with $F(a_{n}x+b_n{)}^n=F(x)$. The extremal types theorem classifies these laws, up to affine changes, as the Gumbel distribution, Fréchet distribution, and negative Weibull distribution.
