Abstract
A number of extreme value analysis techniques are utilised to predict basic design gust wind speeds for Fiji, which lies in a tropical cyclone prone region. The study shows that a number of modern methods tend to highly under-predict extreme wind speeds in regions of Fiji severely affected by tropical cyclones, although their skills improve in less severely affected regions. The reference for comparison was Dorman’s method, which has been previously used as a guidance for development of Region D wind speeds in the Australian wind loading code – the AS1170.2-1989. In the case of Fiji, this study recommends the AS1170.2-1989 Region C provisions for Suva and the eastern coasts of the main island of Viti Levu only, and the AS1170.2-1989 Region D provisions elsewhere. This is significantly different to the provisions of the current National Building Code of Fiji (1990) which allow for the use of AS1170.2-1989 Region C provisions for all of Fiji. This difference is attributed to differences in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones visiting Fiji as compared with those for Australian Region C.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
