Peaks Over Random Threshold Methodology for Tail Index and High Quantile Estimation

In this paper we present a class of semi-parametric high quantile estimators which enjoy a desirable property in the presence of linear transformations of the data. Such a feature is in accordance with the empirical counterpart of the theoretical linearity of a quantile χp: χp(δX + λ) = δχp(X) + λ,...
