Strong Convergence of Multivariate Maxima

Michael Falk, Simone A. Padoan, Stefano Rizzelli

It is well known and readily seen that the maximum of independent and uniformly on distributed random variables, suitably standardised, converges in total variation dis…

Conditional Tail Independence in Archimedean Copula Models

Michael Falk, Simone Padoan, Florian Wisheckel

Consider a random vector , whose distribution function coincides in its upper tail with that of an Archimedean copula. We report the fact that the conditional distribution of $U…

Generalized Pareto Copulas: A Key to Multivariate Extremes

Michael Falk, Simone Padoan, Florian Wisheckel

This paper reviews generalized Pareto copulas (GPC), which turn out to be a key to multivariate extreme value theory. Any GPC can be represented in an easy analytic way using a par…

On a class of norms generated by nonnegative integrable distributions

Michael Falk, Gilles Stupfler

We show that any distribution function on with nonnegative, nonzero and integrable marginal distributions can be characterized by a norm on , calle…

Records for Some Stationary Dependent Sequences

Michael Falk, Amir Khorrami, Simone A. Padoan

For a zero-mean, unit-variance second-order stationary univariate Gaussian process we derive the probability that a record at the time , say , takes place and derive its di…

On Multivariate Records from Random Vectors with Independent Components

M. Falk, A. Khorrami, S. A. Padoan

Let be independent copies of a random vector with values in and with a continuous distribution function. T…

Some Results on Joint Record Events

M. Falk, A. Khorrami Chokami, S. A. Padoan

Let be independent and identically distributed random variables on the real line with a joint continuous distribution function . The stochastic behavior of the s…

On generalized max-linear models in max-stable random fields

Michael Falk, Maximilian Zott

In practice, it is not possible to observe a whole max-stable random field. Therefore, a way how to reconstruct a max-stable random field in by interpolatin…

Asymptotic Independence of Bivariate Order Statistics

Michael Falk, Florian Wisheckel

It is well known that an extreme order statistic and a central order statistic (os) as well as an intermediate os and a central os from a sample of iid univariate random variables…

Multivariate Order Statistics: The Intermediate Case

Michael Falk, Florian Wisheckel

Asymptotic normality of intermediate order statistics taken from univariate iid random variables is well-known. We generalize this result to random vectors in arbitrary dimension,…

An Offspring of Multivariate Extreme-Value Theory: The Max-Characteristic Function

Michael Falk, Gilles Stupfler

This paper introduces max-characteristic functions (max-CFs), which are an offspring of multivariate extreme-value theory. A max-CF characterizes the distribution of a random vecto…

On functional records and champions

Clément Dombry, Michael Falk, Maximilian Zott

Records among a sequence of iid random variables on the real line have been investigated extensively over the past decades. A record is defined as a random variabl…

The space of D-norms revisited

Stefan Aulbach, Michael Falk, Maximilian Zott

The theory of -norms is an offspring of multivariate extreme value theory. We present recent results on -norms, which are completely determined by a certain random vector cal…

Testing for a δ-neighborhood of a generalized Pareto copula

Stefan Aulbach, Michael Falk

A multivariate distribution function F is in the max-domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution if and only if this is true for the copula corresponding to F and its uni…

On generalized max-linear models and their statistical interpolation

Michael Falk, Martin Hofmann, Maximilian Zott

We propose a way how to generate a max-stable process in from a max-stable random vector in by generalizing the \emph{max-linear model} established by \citet…

Max-stable processes and the functional D-norm revisited

Stefan Aulbach, Michael Falk, Martin Hofmann +1

Aulbach et al. (2013) introduced a max-domain of attraction approach for extreme value theory in C[0,1] based on functional distribution functions, which is more general than the a…

On Idempotent D-Norms

Michael Falk

Replacing the spectral measure by a random vector $\bfZ$ allows the representation of a max-stable distribution on with standard negative margins via a norm, called \emph{$D…

A multivariate piecing-together approach with an application to operational loss data

Stefan Aulbach, Verena Bayer, Michael Falk

The univariate piecing-together approach (PT) fits a univariate generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) to the upper tail of a given distribution function in a continuous manner. We…

Testing for a generalized Pareto process

Stefan Aulbach, Michael Falk

We investigate two models for the following setup: We consider a stochastic process X \in C[0,1] whose distribution belongs to a parametric family indexed by \vartheta \in Θ \subse…

Local asymptotic normality in δ-neighborhoods of standard generalized Pareto processes

Stefan Aulbach, Michael Falk

De Haan and Pereira (2006) provided models for spatial extremes in the case of stationarity, which depend on just one parameter β > 0 measuring tail dependence, and they proposed d…

Sojourn Times and the Fragility Index

We investigate the sojourn time above a high threshold of a continuous stochastic process Y on [0,1]. It turns out that the limit, as the threshold increases, of the expected sojou…
