Financial Risk and Heavy Tails - Bradley, Taqqu (2002)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....so that fixing q = FX (x) one gets x = VaR q (X) The value of q should be large, namely, q = FX (x) F (X ) 1 k n. This yields VaR q (X) X q) 44) We obtained an estimator for VaR but it depends on k through X , on the sample size n and #. To estimate #, Hill [Hil75] proposed the following estimator # which is also dependent on the order statistics and sample size: # 1 . 45) The consistency and asymptotic normality properties of this # estimator are known in the i.i.d. case and for certain stationary processes. There are ....

For some k n, we define the Hill estimator [17] to be the di#erence between the logarithm of the k th largest observation and the average of the logarithm of the k largest observations, i.e. # 1 k,n = k 1 log(X n k j,n X n k,n ) When 1#j#n is an i.i.d. sample of a Pareto distribution (see eq. 4) then the Hill estimator ....

This estimator provides the index as a function of the k largest elements of the dataset and is de ned as n;k = k 1 log X (n i) log X (n k) 1 (3) where X (1) X (n) denotes the order statistics of the dataset.

The parameter ff is estimated using the procedure 6 See Zolatarev (1986) for an extensive survey and Samorodnitsky and Taqqu (1994) for some recent developments. 21 developed by Hill (1975) and Hall (1982) Let X 1 ; X 2 ; XN be a sample of independent observations on a distribution with (asymptotically) Paretotype tails. Let XN;1 ; XN;2 ; XN;N represent the ordered sample values. The maximal moment exponent can then be consistently estimated by ff s = 0 s ....

....the OFF times for various window sizes for the traces for Italy and the heavy tailed nature of each is clearly evident. A statistically more rigorous method for estimating the slope of the tails and thus ff as compared to the eyeballing method associated with plotting ccdfs is the Hill s estimator [6]. The presence of heavy tails is indicated by a straight line behavior of the Hill s estimate ff n as the number of samples used in the calculation of the estimate increases while a steadily decreasing pattern is a strong indication of the data being not from a heavy tailed distribution.
