Description

We don't have anything on extreme values in the User's Guide. There's a thread on Discourse that links to an example and a case study put together by John Hall:

https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/semiparametric-heavy-tailed-distributions-in-stan/28970/5

Here's a link to John's final case study:

Use those materials to define the extreme value modeling chapter and place it in the appropriate Guide section. Done means the chapter is included in the User's Guide and accurately reflects the referenced example and case study.
