Penalized bias reduction in extreme value estimation for censored Pareto-type data, and long-tailed insurance applications

Jan Beirlant, Gaonyalelwe Maribe, Andrehette Verster

The subject of tail estimation for randomly censored data from a heavy tailed distribution receives growing attention, motivated by applications for instance in actuarial statistic…

Reducing MSE in estimation of heavy tails: a Bayesian approach

Gaonyalelwe Maribe, Andréhette Verster, Jan Beirlant

Bias reduction in tail estimation has received considerable interest in extreme value analysis. Estimation methods that minimize the bias while keeping the mean squared error (MSE)…

Tail fitting for truncated and non-truncated Pareto-type distributions

Jan Beirlant, Isabel Fraga Alves, Ivette Gomes

Recently some papers, such as Aban, Meerschaert and Panorska (2006), Nuyts (2010) and Clark (2013), have drawn attention to possible truncation in Pareto tail modelling. Sometimes…

Second-order refined peaks-over-threshold modelling for heavy-tailed distributions

Jan Beirlant, Elisabeth Joossens, Johan Segers

Modelling excesses over a high threshold using the Pareto or generalized Pareto distribution (PD/GPD) is the most popular approach in extreme value statistics. This method typicall…
