Estimating the conditional extreme-value index under random right-censoring
In extreme value theory, the extreme-value index is a parameter that controls the behavior of a cumulative distribution function in its right tail. Estimating this parameter is thus the first step when tackling a number of problems related to extreme events. In this paper, we introduce an estimator of the extreme-value index in the presence of a random covariate when the response variable is ri...
متن کاملNew estimators of the extreme value index under random right censoring, for heavy-tailed distributions
This paper presents new approaches for the estimation of the extreme value index in the framework of randomly censored (from the right) samples, based on the ideas of Kaplan-Meier integration and the synthetic data approach of S.Leurgans (1987). These ideas are developed here in the heavy tail case and for the adaptation of the Hill estimator, for which the consistency is proved under first ord...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of the conditional tail index and extreme quantiles under random censoring
In this paper, we investigate the estimation of the tail index and extreme quantiles of a heavy-tailed distribution when some covariate information is available and the data are randomly right-censored. We construct several estimators by combining a moving-window technique (for tackling the covariate information) and the inverse probability-of-censoring weighting method, and we establish their ...
متن کاملEstimating extreme quantiles under random truncation
The goal of this paper is to provide estimators of the tail index and extreme quantiles of a heavy-tailed random variable when it is righttruncated. The weak consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators are established. The finite sample performance of our estimators is illustrated on a simulation study and we showcase our estimators on a real set of failure data. keywords: Asymptotic...
متن کاملA moment estimator for the conditional extreme-value index
In extreme value theory, the so-called extreme-value index is a parameter that controls the behavior of a distribution function in its right tail. Knowing this parameter is thus essential to solve many problems related to extreme events. In this paper, the estimation of the extreme-value index is considered in the presence of a random covariate, whether the conditional distribution of the varia...
