Pareto approximation of the tail by local exponential modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a new adaptive method for selecting the number of upper order statistics used in the estimation of the tail of a distribution function. Our approach is based on approximation by an exponential model. The selection procedure consists in consecutive testing for the hypothesis of homogeneity of the estimated parameter against the change-point alternative. The selected number of upper order statistics corresponds to the first detected change-point. Our main results are nonasymptotic.

Optimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method
Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...
متن کاملTail asymptotics for exponential functionals of Lévy processes
Motivated by recent studies in financial mathematics and other areas, we investigate the exponential functional Z = ∫∞ 0 e−X(t)dt of a Lévy process X(t), t ≥ 0. In particular, we investigate its tail asymptotics. It is shown that, depending on the right tail of X(1), the tail behavior of Z is exponential, Pareto, or extremely heavy-tailed.

We propose a new methodology for modeling and analyzing power-tail distributions , such as the Pareto distribution, in communication networks. The basis of our approach is a tting algorithm which approximates a power-tail distribution by a hy-perexponential distribution. This algorithm possesses several key properties. First, the approximation can be achieved within any desired degree of accura...

متن کاملModeling Service-time Distributions with Non-exponential Tails: Beta Mixtures of Exponentials
Motivated by interest in probability density functions (pdf’s) with nonexponential tails in queueing and related areas, we introduce and investigate two classes of beta mixtures of exponential pdf’s. These classes include distributions introduced by Boxma and Cohen (1997) and Gaver and Jacobs (1998) to study queues with long-tail service-time distributions. When the standard beta pdf is used as...
