A Folding Method for Extreme Quantiles Estimation

In order to estimate extreme quantiles from independent and identically distributed random variables, we propose and study a novel folding procedure that improves quantile estimates obtained from the classical Peaks-Over-Threshold method (POT) used in Extreme Value Theory. The idea behind the foldi...
