Abstract
Estimation of the extreme-value index of a heavy-tailed distribution is addressed when some random covariate information is available and the data are randomly right-censored. A weighted kernel version of Hill’s estimator of the extreme-value index is proposed and its asymptotic normality is established. Based on this, a Weissman-type estimator of conditional extreme quantiles is constructed. A simulation study is conducted to assess the finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimators.
