A Class of Semi-parametric Probability Weighted Moment Estimators

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the semi-parametric estimation of the right tail 1 −F. Through the use of probability weighted moments based on the largest observations, we study a class of estimators for the extreme value index γ, the scale parameterC, and theValue-at-Riskat a levelp.
