Confidence Regions for High Quantiles of a Heavy Tailed Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimating high quantiles plays an important role in the context of risk management. This involves extrapolation of an unknown distribution function. In this paper we propose three methods, namely, the normal approximation method, the likelihood ratio method and the data tilting method, to construct confidence regions for high quantiles of a heavy tailed distribution. A simulation study prefers the data tilting method.

Extended Abstract. Let Xi1 ,..., Xini ,i=1,2,3,....,k be independent random samples from distribution $F^{alpha_i}$، i=1,...,k, where F is an absolutely continuous distribution function and $alpha_i>0$ Also, suppose that these samples are independent.

متن کاملConstructing a Confidence Interval for Quantiles of Normal Distribution, one and Two Population
In this paper, in order to establish a confidence interval (general and shortest) for quantiles of normal distribution in the case of one population, we present a pivotal quantity that has non-central t distribution. In the case of two independent normal populations, we construct a confidence interval for the difference quantiles based on the generalized pivotal quantity and introduce ...

In this paper we propose new method for simultaneous generating multiple quantiles corresponding to given probability levels from data streams and massive data sets. This method provides a basis for development of single-pass low-storage quantile estimation algorithms, which differ in complexity, storage requirement and accuracy. We demonstrate that such algorithms may perform well even for hea...
متن کاملEstimating extreme quantiles under random truncation
The goal of this paper is to provide estimators of the tail index and extreme quantiles of a heavy-tailed random variable when it is righttruncated. The weak consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators are established. The finite sample performance of our estimators is illustrated on a simulation study and we showcase our estimators on a real set of failure data. keywords: Asymptotic...
متن کاملEvaluating performance in systems with heavy tailed input: a quantile based approach
One of the key invariants in computer and communication systems is that im¬ portant characteristics follow long-or heavy-tailed distributions. This means that the tail of these distributions declines according to a power law. Hence, the probability for extremely large values is non-negligible. For example, such distributions have been found to describe the size of web objects or the pro¬ cessin...
