Efficient inference and simulation for elliptical Pareto processes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Recent advances in extreme value theory have established ell-Pareto processes as the natural limits for extreme events defined in terms of exceedances of a risk functional. Here we provide methods for the practical modelling of data based on a tractable yet flexible dependence model. We introduce the class of elliptical ell-Pareto processes, which arise as the limit of threshold exceedances of certain elliptical processes characterized by a correlation function and a shape parameter. An efficient inference method based on maximizing a full likelihood with partial censoring is developed. Novel procedures for exact conditional and unconditional simulation are proposed. These ideas are illustrated using precipitation extremes in Switzerland.
