Abstract The exact distributions of the ratio X/Y are derived when X and Y are independent random variables and come from type I, type II or type III extreme value distributions. A detailed application of the results is provided to extreme rainfall data from Korea. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
