On the Tail Index Estimation of an Autoregressive Pareto Process
In this paper we consider an autoregressive Pareto process which can be used as an alternative to heavy tailed MARMA. We focus on the tail behavior and prove that the tail empirical quantile function can be approximated by a Gaussian process. This result allows to derive a class of consistent and asymptotically normal estimators for the shape parameter. We will see through simulation that the u...
متن کاملThe Beta Generalized Pareto Distribution
A new distribution called the beta-generalized Pareto is proposed. Several properties of this distribution are presented. The expressions for the mean, mean deviation, variance, and entropies are obtained. The method of maximum likelihood is proposed to estimate the parameters of the distribution. The flexibility of this distribution is illustrated in an application to a real data set.
متن کاملBivariate generalized Pareto distribution in practice: models and estimation
There is often interest in understanding how the extremely high/low values of different processes are related to each other. One possible way to tackle this problem is via an asymptotic approach, which involves fitting the multivariate generalized Pareto distribution (MGPD) to data that exceed a suitably high threshold. There are two possible definitions of the MGPD. The first, which has classi...
متن کاملAn asymptotically unbiased minimum density power divergence estimator for the Pareto-tail index
We introduce a robust and asymptotically unbiased estimator for the tail index of Pareto-type distributions. The estimator is obtained by fitting the extended Pareto distribution to the relative excesses over a high threshold with the minimum density power divergence criterion. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator is established under a second order condition on the distributio...
متن کاملParameter estimation for 3-parameter generalized pareto distribution by the principle of maximum entropy (POME)
Abstract The principle of maximum entropy (POME) is employed to derive a new method of parameter estimation for the 3-parameter generalized Pareto (GP) distribution. Monte Carlo simulated data are used to evaluate this method and compare it with the methods of moments (MOM), probability weighted moments (PWM), and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The parameter estimates yielded by the POME ...
