Abstract

We investigate the estimation of the extreme value index, when the data are subject to random censorship. We prove in a unified way detailed asymptotic normality results for various estimators of the extreme value index and use these estimators as the main building block for estimators of extreme quantiles. We illustrate the quality of these methods by a small simulation study and apply the estimators to medical data.
