A coupling method is developed for univariate extreme value theory, providing an alternative to the use of tail empirical/quantile processes. We emphasize Peak-over-Threshold approach that approximates distribution above high threshold by Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) and compare empirical exceedances associated with limit GPD model. Sharp bounds their Wasserstein distance in second ord...
