An entropic view of Pickands' theorem

چکیده
It is shown that distributions arising in Rényi-Tsallis maximum entropy setting are related to the Generalized Pareto Distributions (GPD) that are widely used for modeling the tails of distributions. The relevance of such modelization, as well as the ubiquity of GPD in practical situations follows from Balkema-De Haan-Pickands theorem on the distribution of excesses (over a high threshold). We provide an entropic view of this result, by showing that the distribution of a suitably normalized excess variable converges to the solution of a maximum Tsallis entropy, which is the GPD. This highlights the relevance of the so-called ‘Tsallis’ distributions in many applications as well as some relevance to the use of the corresponding entropy.

Remarks on Pickands theorem
In this article we present Pickands theorem and his double sum method. We follow Piterbarg’s proof of this theorem. Since his proof relies on general lemmas we present a complete proof of Pickands theorem using Borell inequality and Slepian lemma. The original Pickands proof is rather complicated and is mixed with upcrossing probabilities for stationary Gaussian processes. We give a lower bound...
متن کاملGeneralized Pickands Constants
Pickands constants play an important role in the exact asymptotic of extreme values for Gaussian stochastic processes. By the generalized Pickands constant Hη we mean the limit Hη = lim T→∞ Hη(T ) T , where Hη(T ) = IE exp ( maxt∈[0,T ] (√ 2η(t)− σ2 η(t) )) and η(t) is a centered Gaussian process with stationary increments and variance function σ2 η(t). Under some mild conditions on σ2 η(t) we ...

متن کاملFractional dynamical systems: A fresh view on the local qualitative theorems
The aim of this work is to describe the qualitative behavior of the solution set of a given system of fractional differential equations and limiting behavior of the dynamical system or flow defined by the system of fractional differential equations. In order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary to develop the local theory for fractional nonlinear systems. This is done by the extension of...
متن کاملEmbedding Entropic Algebras into Semimodules and Modules
An algebra is entropic if its basic operations are homomorphisms. The paper is focused on representations of such algebras. We prove the following theorem: An entropic algebra without constant basic operations which satisfies so called Szendrei identities and such that all its basic operations of arity at least two are surjective is a subreduct of a semimodule over a commutative semiring. Our t...
