Estimation of a large quantile of the distribution of multi-day seasonal maximum rainfall: the value of stochastic simulation of long-duration sequences

ABSTRACT: The usefulness of time-series simulation of daily rainfall for estimating large quantiles of the distribution of 10 d seasonal maximum rainfall is questioned. The emphasis is on rare 10 d ...

A multiplier approach for nonparametric estimation of the extreme quantiles of compound frequency distributions

Operational risk reserves are still widely estimated using the loss distribution approach. The accuracy of the estimation depends heavily on the accuracy with which the extreme quantiles of the ...

Extremiles, quantiles and expectiles in the tails

Quantiles and expectiles analyze the regression model not only at the mean but also in the tails. Financial losses, medical insurance, auction bids, insurance claims and toxicity limits are all areas ...
