Rare Events, Temporal Dependence, and the Extremal Index
نویسنده
چکیده
Classical extreme value theory for stationary sequences of random variables can to a large extent be paraphrased as the study of exceedances over a high threshold. A special role within the description of the temporal dependence between such exceedances is played by the extremal index. Parts of this theory can be generalized not only to random variables on an arbitrary state space hitting certain failure sets, but even to a triangular array of rare events on an abstract probability space. In the case of M4 (maxima of multivariate moving maxima) processes, the arguments take a simple and direct form.

Modelling Time Series Extremes
• The need to model rare events of univariate time series has led to many recent advances in theory and methods. In this paper, we review telegraphically the literature on extremes of dependent time series and list some remaining challenges. Key-Words: • Bayesian statistics; Box–Cox transformation; clustering; dependence; extremal index; extremogram; generalized extreme-value distribution; gene...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of tail dependence
Dependencies of extreme events (extremal dependencies) are attracting an increasing attention in modern risk management. In practice, the concept of tail dependence represents the current standard to describe the amount of extremal dependence. In theory, multivariate extreme-value theory (EVT) turns out to be the natural choice to model the latter dependencies. The present paper embeds tail dep...
متن کاملJanuary 22, 2013 MEASURES OF SERIAL EXTREMAL DEPENDENCE AND THEIR ESTIMATION
The goal of this paper is two-fold: 1. We review classical and recent measures of serial extremal dependence in a strictly stationary time series as well as their estimation. 2. We discuss recent concepts of heavy-tailed time series, including regular variation and max-stable processes. Serial extremal dependence is typically characterized by clusters of exceedances of high thresholds in the se...
متن کاملTail and Nontail Memory with Applications to Extreme Value and Robust Statistics
New notions of tail and nontail dependence are used to characterize separately extremal and nonextremal information, including tail log-exceedances and events, and tail-trimmed levels. We prove that near epoch dependence (McLeish, 1975; Gallant and White, 1988) and L0-approximability (Pötscher and Prucha, 1991) are equivalent for tail events and tail-trimmed levels, ensuring a Gaussian central ...
متن کاملEccentric Connectivity Index: Extremal Graphs and Values
Eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significant potential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. We present here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs. We also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with the number of vertices and determine ...
