چکیده

We provide an overview of the probability and statistical tools underlying the extreme value theory, which aims to predict occurrence of rare events. Firstly, we explain that the asymptotic distribution of extreme values belongs, in some sense, to the family of the generalised extreme value distributions which depend on a real parameter, called the extreme value index. Secondly, we discuss statistical tail estimation methods based on estimators of the extreme value index. Résumé :Nous donnons un aperçu des résultats probabilistes et statistiques utilisés dans la théorie des valeurs extrêmes, dont l’objectif est de prédire l’occurrence d’événements rares. Dans la première partie de l’article, nous expliquons que la distribution asymptotique des valeurs extrêmes appartient, dans un certain sens, à la famille des distributions des valeurs extrêmes généralisées qui dépendent d’un paramètre réel, appelé l’indice de valeur extrême. Dans la seconde partie, nous discutons des méthodes d’évaluation statistiques des queues basées sur l’estimation de l’indice des valeurs extrêmes

Investigating Effect of Oil Revenues on Social Capital in Oil Rentier Countries: An Extreme Bounds Analysis Approach (EBA)

The volatility of oil revenues in rentier countries, due to the large share of oil revenue in their economies, affects many variables. Oil revenues can also affect social behavior and culture. Therefore, social capital, as the result of social networks and institutions, can be directly and indirectly affected by oil rents. The review of economic literature suggests that oil revenues could poten...

Estimation for the Type-II Extreme Value Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...

The Uniqueness of the Overall Assurance Interval for Epsilon in DEA Models by the Direction Method

The role of non-Archimedean  in the DEA models has been clarified, so that the associatedlinear programs can be infeasible (for the multiplier side) and unbounded (for theenvelopment side) with an unsuitable choice of  . This paper shows that the overallassurance interval for  in DEA models is unique by the concept of extreme directions. Also,it presents an assurance value for  using only s...
