The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modelling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated data, such as maxima of a random number of observations, are considered. We derive a limit theorem concerning the attractors for the distributions of the aggregated data, which boil down to a new family of max-stable distributions. We also connect the extremal dependence structure of classical max-stable distributions and that of our new family of max-stable distributions. Using an inversion method, we derive a semiparametric composite-estimator for the extremal dependence of the unobservable data, starting from a preliminary estimator of the extremal dependence of the aggregated data. Furthermore, we develop the large-sample theory of the composite-estimator and illustrate its finite-sample performance via a simulation study.

Abstract
The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modelling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated data, such as maxima of a random number of observations, are considered. We derive a limit theorem concerning the attractors for the distributions of the aggregated data, which boil down to a new family of max-stable distributions. We also connect the extremal dependence structure of classical max-stable distributions and that of our new family of max-stable distributions. Using an inversion method, we derive a semiparametric composite-estimator for the extremal dependence of the unobservable data, starting from a preliminary estimator of the extremal dependence of the aggregated data. Furthermore, we develop the large-sample theory of the composite-estimator and illustrate its finite-sample performance via a simulation study.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
