Cluster based inference for extremes of time series
share
We introduce a new type of estimator for the spectral tail process of a regularly varying time series. The approach is based on a characterizing invariance property of the spectral tail process, which is incorporated into the new estimator via a projection technique. We show uniform asymptotic normality of this estimator, both in the case of known and of unknown index of regular variation. In a simulation study the new procedure shows a more stable performance than previously proposed estimators.
