Extreme Values and Their Applications in Finance

Ruey S. Tsay
TL;DR: In this paper, both unconditional and conditional concepts of extreme values are discussed, and the authors use daily log returns of IBM stock to illustrate the applications of the methods discussed in this lecture.

Spatial assessment of extreme significant waves heights in the gulf of lions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the extreme waves hazards in the Gulf of Lions, focusing on their spatial behaviour, using max-stable processes, an extension of the well-known generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution.

Asymptotic properties of sums of upper records

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide sufficient conditions on the distribution for the properly normalized partial sums to converge to a standard normal distribution, and show that their conditions are general enough so that the examples provided by Arnold and Villasenor (1999) are covered by their results.

Improvements in the estimation of a heavy tail

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a non-invariant estimator for the tail index, which is based on the scaling of the scale of the data, from X to X/τ.
