On Exponential Representations of Log-Spacings of Extreme Order Statistics

In Beirlant et al. (1999) and Feuerverger and Hall (1999) an exponential regression model (ERM) was introduced on the basis of scaled log-spacings between subsequent extreme order statistics from a Pareto-type distribution. This lead to the construction of new bias-corrected estimators for the tail index. In this note, under quite general conditions, asymptotic justification for this regression model is given as well as for resulting tail index estimators. Also, we discuss diagnostic methods for adaptive selection of the threshold when using the Hill (1975) estimator which follow from the ERM approach. We show how the diagnostic presented in Guillou and Hall (2001) is linked to the ERM, while a new proposal is suggested. We also provide some small sample comparisons with other existing methods.

Robust Estimation of Tail Parameters for Two-Parameter Pareto and Exponential Models via Generalized Quantile Statistics

Robust estimation of tail index parameters is treated for (equivalent) two-parameter Pareto and exponential models. These distributions arise as parametric models in actuarial science, economics, telecommunications, and reliability, for example, as well as in semiparametric modeling of upper observations in samples from distributions which are regularly varying or in the domain of attraction of extreme value distributions. New estimators of generalized quantile type are introduced and compared with several well-established estimators, for the purpose of identifying which estimators provide favorable trade-offs between efficiency and robustness. Specifically, we examine asymptotic relative efficiency with respect to the (efficient but nonrobust) maximum likelihood estimator, and breakdown point. The new estimators, in particular the generalized median types, are found to dominate well-established and popular estimators corresponding to methods of trimming, least squares, and quantiles. Further, we establish that the least squares estimator is actually deficient with respect to both criteria and should become disfavored. The generalized median estimators manifest a general principle: smoothing followed by medianing produces a favorable trade-off between efficiency and robustness.     

SIMEX Estimation for Composite Quantile Regression Model with Measurement Error

Composite quantile regression model with measurement error is considered. The SIMEX estimators of the unknown regression coefficients are proposed based on the composite quantile regression. The proposed estimators not only eliminate the bias caused by measurement error, but also retain the advantages of the composite quantile regression estimation. The asymptotic properties of the SIMEX estimation are proved under some regular conditions. The finite sample properties of the proposed method are studied by a simulation study, and a real example is analyzed.

This paper studies estimation in functional partial linear composite quantile regression model in which the dependent variable is related to both a function-valued random variable in linear form and a real-valued random variable in nonparametric form. The functional principal component analysis and regression splines are employed to estimate the slope function and the nonparametric function respectively, and the convergence rates of the estimators are obtained under some regularity conditions. Simulation studies and a real data example are presented for illustration of the performance of the proposed estimators.

Using a Bootstrap Method to Choose the Sample Fraction in Tail Index Estimation

Tail index estimation depends for its accuracy on a precise choice of the sample fraction, i.e., the number of extreme order statistics on which the estimation is based. A complete solution to the sample fraction selection is given by means of a two-step subsample bootstrap method. This method adaptively determines the sample fraction that minimizes the asymptotic mean-squared error. Unlike previous methods, prior knowledge of the second-order parameter is not required. In addition, we are able to dispense with the need for a prior estimate of the tail index which already converges roughly at the optimal rate. The only arbitrary choice of parameters is the number of Monte Carlo replications.

A Dynamic Mixture Model for Unsupervised Tail Estimation without Threshold Selection

Exceedances over high thresholds are often modeled by fitting a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) on R⁺. It is difficult to select the threshold, above which the GPD assumption is enough solid and enough data is available for inference. We suggest a new dynamically weighted mixture model, where one term of the mixture is the GPD, and the other is a light-tailed density distribution. The weight function varies on R⁺ in such a way that for large values the GPD component is predominant and thus takes the role of threshold selection. The full data set is used for inference on the parameters present in the two component distributions and in the weight function. Maximum likelihood provides estimates with approximate standard deviations. Our approach has been successfully applied to simulated data and to the (previously studied) Danish fire loss data set. We compare the new dynamic mixture method to Dupuis' robust thresholding approach in peaks-over-threshold inference. We discuss robustness with respect to the choice of the light-tailed component and the form of the weight function. We present encouraging simulation results that indicate that the new approach can be useful in unsupervised tail estimation, especially in heavy tailed situations and for small percentiles.

For linear quantile regression model, this paper proves that the test statistics, besed on smoothed empirical likelihood (SEL) method and least absolute deviation (LAD) method, both converge weakly to a noncentral Chi-square distribution under the local alternatives $H_1:beta=beta_0+a_n$, where $beta$ is the true parameter. Simulation results show that the SEL method is more efficient than the LAD method.     

Likelihood Based Confidence Intervals for the Tail Index

For the estimation of the tail index of a heavy tailed distribution, one of the well-known estimators is the Hill estimator (Hill, 1975). One obvious way to construct a confidence interval for the tail index is via the normal approximation of the Hill estimator. In this paper we apply both the empirical likelihood method and the parametric likelihood method to obtaining confidence intervals for the tail index. Our limited simulation study indicates that the normal approximation method is worse than the other two methods in terms of coverage probability, and the empirical likelihood method and the parametric likelihood method are comparable.
