Abstract

Let lcubXn:n ≥ 1rcub be an i.i.d. sequence of random variables with a continuous distribution function F. Under the assumption that the upper tail of Fis regularly varying with exponent 1/agr, agr > 0, we study the asymptotic properties of an estimator of agr based on k-record values.
Keywords: k-records; extreme values; regular variation; parametric estimation; pareto distributions; tail estimation
