# REVISED R CODE FOR: 
# "Application of an Integrated Markov Chain and Extreme Value Theory 
# Framework for Weather Risk Assessment in a Tropical Climate"
#
# Authors: Mayooran Thevaraja, Chandramohan Thuvaragan, Noel Aloysius
#
# This code implements:
# 1. Data preprocessing and aggregation (15-min to daily)
# 2. Markov Chain modeling with transition matrices
# 3. Extreme Value Theory (POT/GPD) analysis with MRL-based threshold selection
# 4. Integrated MC-EVT simulation pipeline with validation
# 5. Visualization of results
#
# REVISED: Monsoon-based seasonal divisions, professional figure quality,
#          MRL-based threshold selection, simulation validation
