On unbiased estimation of the tail Pareto index based on k-record values

Mohamed El ARROUCHI, Abdelouahid IMLAHI

Abstract


In this paper, and in a context of regularly varying tails, we propose an unbiased estimator for the tail Pareto index of a distribution based on kn-record values observed in a sample (X1; :::;Xn) and show its asymptotic properties. Some simulations are also provided to validate the theoretical results.

Keywords


Extreme values; kn-record values; Tail Pareto index; Unbiased estimator

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not.
