Abstract

The study of estimation of conditional extreme quantile in incomplete data frameworks is of growing interest. Specially, the estimation of the extreme value index in a censorship framework has been the purpose of many investigations when finite dimension covariate information has been considered. In this paper, the estimation of the conditional extreme quantile of a heavy-tailed distribution is discussed when some functional random covariate (i.e. valued in some infinite-dimensional space) information is available and the scalar response variable is right-censored. A Weissman-type estimator of conditional extreme quantiles is proposed and its asymptotic normality is established under mild assumptions. A simulation study is conducted to assess the finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimator and a comparison with two simple estimations strategies is provided.

Highlights

  • Estimation of extreme quantile is one of the most important keys in many studies of rare events that happen occasionally but have a big impact on the behaviors of distribution of these rare events

  • The useful material for modeling those types of extreme events are provided by Extreme Value Theory (EVT), such as estimation of tailed index and associated extreme quantile

  • We focus on the problem of estimating a conditional extreme-quantile of a heavy-tailed distribution when some functional covariate information X ∈ E is available, where

Summary

Introduction

Estimation of extreme quantile is one of the most important keys in many studies of rare events that happen occasionally but have a big impact on the behaviors of distribution of these rare events. When some covariate information X is available and the distribution of Y depends on X, the problem is to estimate the conditional extreme-value index and conditional extreme quantiles. We focus on the problem of estimating a conditional extreme-quantile of a heavy-tailed distribution when some functional covariate information X ∈ E is available, where. Daouia et al [5] introduced the kernel-type estimation of the extreme conditional quantile q (αn | x) from heavy-tailed distribution which belongs to Fréchet maximum domain of attraction, while [6] proposed new estimation procedure for estimating the conditional survival function F ( y | x) := 1− F ( y | x) by considering different double kernel estimator.
