Asymptotic behaviour of regular estimators

The P.O.T. (Peaks-Over-Threshold) approach consists of using the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) to approximate the distribution of excesses over thresholds. We use the maximum likelihood estimators, or some other ones satisfying regularity conditions, to estimate the parameters of the approx...

Description
Summary:The P.O.T. (Peaks-Over-Threshold) approach consists of using the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) to approximate the distribution of excesses over thresholds. We use the maximum likelihood estimators, or some other ones satisfying regularity conditions, to estimate the parameters of the approximating distribution. We study the asymptotic bias of these estimators and also the functional bias of the estimated GPD.
