Extremal behavior of pMAX processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The well-known M4 processes of Smith and Weissman are very flexible models for asymptotically dependent multivariate data. Extended M4 of Heffernan emph{et al.} allows to also account for asymptotic independence. In this paper we introduce a more general multivariate model comprising asymptotic dependence and independence, which has the extended M4 class as a particular case. We study properties of the proposed model. In particular, we compute the multivariate extremal index, tail dependence and extremal coefficients.


The authors introduce the power transformed multivariate maxima of moving maxima (M4) process which generalizes the extended M4 process studied in the literature. The new process includes both asymptotic dependence and independence models. Properties of the introduced process are studied; they include computing the marginal and the multivariate extremal index, tail dependence and extremal coefficients. An example and some notes on estimation are given.
