Nelson-Aalen Tail Product-limit Process and Extreme Value Index Estimation Under Random Censorship
摘要
On the basis of Nelson-Aalen nonparametric estimator of the cumulative distribution function, we provide a weak approximation to tail product-limit process for randomly right-censored heavy-tailed data. In this context, a new consistent estimator of the extreme value index is introduced and its asymptotic normality is established only by assuming the second-order condition of regular variation of the underlying distribution tail. In addition, an estimation procedure is described for high quantiles related to the above-mentioned tail index estimator. Finally, a simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performances of the newly proposed estimators with comparison to already existing ones.
