Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss an algorithm for the adaptive estimation of a positive extreme value index, γ, the primary parameter in Statistics of Extremes. Apart from classical extreme value index estimators, we suggest the consideration of associated second-order corrected-bias estimators, and propose the use of bootstrap computer-intensive methods for the adaptive choice of thresholds.
