The extent of the maximum likelihood estimator for the extreme value index

Abstract

In extreme value analysis, staring from Smith (1987) [1], the maximum likelihood procedure is applied in estimating the shape parameter of tails--the extreme value index [gamma]. For its theoretical properties, Zhou (2009) [12] proved that the maximum likelihood estimator eventually exists and is consistent for [gamma]>-1 under the first order condition. The combination of Zhou (2009) [12] and Drees et al (2004) [11] provides the asymptotic normality under the second order condition for [gamma]>-1/2. This paper proves the asymptotic normality for -1
