Generalized Pickands estimators for the extreme value index
The Pickands estimator for the extreme value index is generalized in a way that includes all of its previously known variants. A detailed study of the asymptotic behavior of the estimators in the family serves to determine its optimally performing members. These are given by simple, explicit formulas, have the same asymptotic variance as the maximum likelihood estimator in the generalized Paret...
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...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimators for the extreme value index based on the block maxima method
The maximum likelihood method offers a standard way to estimate the three parameters of a generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. Combined with the block maxima method, it is often used in practice to assess the extreme value index and normalization constants of a distribution satisfying a first order extreme value condition, assuming implicitely that the block maxima are exactly GEV dist...
متن کاملExtreme-value Moment Goodness-of-fittests
A general goodness-of-fit test for scale-parameter families of distribu tions is introduced, which is based on quotients of expected sample minima. The test is independent of the mean of the distribution, and, in applications to testing for expQnentiality of data, compares favorably to other goodness-of-fit tests for expo nentialitybased on the empirical distribution function, regression meth...
متن کاملMoment estimation using extreme value techniques
The thesis is composed of three papers, all dealing with the application of extreme value methods to the problem of moment estimation for heavy-tailed distributions. In Paper A, an asymptotically normally distributed estimate for the expected value of a positive random variable with infinite variance is introduced. Its behavior relative to estimation using the sample mean is investigated by sim...
