An implementation of the statistical methodology paper Engelke and Hitz (2020) for sparse multivariate extreme value models. Includes exact simulation algorithms and statistical inference methods for multivariate Pareto distributions on graphical structures.

Contains also implementations of statistical methods from Engelke and Volgushev (2022), Röttger et al. (2021), Engelke et al. (2022), Hentschel et al. (2022), and Engelke and Taeb (2024), as well as data sets from Asadi et al. (2015) and Hentschel et al. (2022).
