Shrinkage Methods for Estimating the Shape Parameter of the Generalized Pareto Distribution

The generalized Pareto distribution is one of the most important distributions in statistics of extremes as it has wide applications in fields such as finance, insurance, and hydrology. This study proposes two new methods for estimating the shape parameter of the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD...
