چکیده
In this paper, the flexible semi-parametric model introduced in is considered for conducting tail inference of censored data. Both and censoring variables are supposed to belong family distributions, thus solutions modelling data which between Weibull-tail Pareto-tail behaviours proposed. Estimators parameters extreme quantiles defined without prior knowledge strength asymptotic normality results proved. Various combinations tails distributions covered, ranging from rather mild severe tail, i.e., when ultimate probability zero. Finite sample behaviour presented via some simulations an illustration on real also provided.

Estimation of extreme quantiles from heavy and light tailed distributions
In [18], a new family of distributions is introduced, depending on two parameters τ and θ, which encompasses Pareto-type distributions as well as Weibull tail-distributions. Estimators for θ and extreme quantiles are also proposed, but they both depend on the unknown parameter τ , making them useless in practical situations. In this paper, we propose an estimator of τ which is independent of θ....
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 کاملBayesian estimation of the tail index of a heavy tailed distribution under random censoring
Bayesian estimation of the tail index of a heavy-tailed distribution is addressed when data are randomly right-censored. Maximum a posteriori and mean posterior estimators are constructed for various prior distributions of the tail index and their consistency and asymptotic normality are established. Finitesample properties of the proposed estimators are investigated via simulations. Tail index...
متن کاملConditional extremes from heavy-tailed distributions: An application to the estimation of extreme rainfall return levels
− This paper is dedicated to the estimation of extreme quantiles and the tail index from heavy-tailed distributions when a covariate is recorded simultaneously with the quantity of interest. A nearest neighbor approach is used to construct our estimators. Their asymptotic normality is established under mild regularity conditions and their finite sample properties are illustrated on a simulation...
متن کاملHeavy - Tailed Probability Distributions
Combinatorial search methods often exhibit a large variability in performance. We study the cost prooles of combinatorial search procedures. Our study reveals some intriguing properties of such cost prooles. The distributions are often characterized by very long tails or \heavy tails". We will show that these distributions are best characterized by a general class of distributions that have no ...
