(2011) investigated the gain in efficiency when triplewise, rather than pairwise, likelihood is used to fit the popular Smith max-stable model for spatial extremes. We generalize their results to the Brown--Resnick model and show that the efficiency gain is substantial only for very smooth processes, which are generally unrealistic in applications.Brown--Resnick processComposite likelihoodMax-stable processPairwise likelihoodSmith processTriplewise likelihoodtext::journal::journal article::research article
