Abstract

In Statistics of Extremes, the tail shape second order parameter is a relevant parameter whenever we want to improve the estimation of first order parameters. We shall consider two semi-parametric estimators of the shape second order parameter, parameterized with a tuning parameter. We provide a Monte Carlo comparative simulation study of several algorithms for the choice of such tuning parameter and for an adaptive estimation of the shape second order parameter.
