So you can call it whatever you like and still be right :-)
BTW I believe the min and max cases are basically just mirror images of each other about the location parameter?
So names aside, it's all the extreme value distribution, but there are minimum and maximum variations of it.
I found this... It was a nice overview of some of the distribution. Section 1.2 has a nice overview of the type 1, 2 and 3 distributions and how they relate (and how they're related to Weibull, for example). I wonder if I can find this book in our math library...
I don't have access to this, but I have K Krishnamoorthy who gives some info in Cha 25. I could send scans of the four pages diect if this would help but I suspect you know more already. He describes Type 1, II and III and gives formulae for type I cdf median ..., and his StatCalc does some calculations of parameters, so I could compute test values if you tell me what you want.
