Short summary
A new extension of the generalized extreme value distribution, namely the Dual Gamma Generalized Extreme Value distribution developed by Nascimento, Bourguignony, and Leão (2015), displays superior performance in fitting most samples and is sensitive to trends, especially under non-stationary conditions such as climate change.
