Nonparametric smoothing in extreme value theory
… and scale parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution and the distribution of the r largest order statistics. Estimation is performed by implementing a Fisher scoring algorithm to maximize the penalized log-likelihood function. The approach provides a flexible framework for exploring …

Extreme Value Theory with an Application to Bank Failures through Contagion
… system in the past, and (ii) using the extreme value theory (EVT) to model the tail part of the shocks. The external shocks we considered in this study are due to exchange rate and treasury bill rate volatility. Also, an ARMA/GARCH model is used to extract iid residuals for this purpose. In the …

Application of extreme value theory to the calculation of value-at-risk
The main aim of the study was to test the applicability of published EVT-based VaR calculation methods to the South African market. Two methods were tested on a hypothetical portolio of South African stocks, using the standard backtesting technique.

Extreme value theory: Applications to estimation of stochastic traffic capacity and statistical downscaling of precipitation extremes
<p>This work explores two applications of extreme value analysis. First, we apply EV techniques to traffic stream data to develop an accurate distribution of capacity. Data were collected by the NHDOT along Interstate I93, and two adjacent locations in Salem, NH were examined. Daily flow maxima …
