Abstract:
Two fundamental methods in Extreme Value Theory are the Block Maxima (BM) and the Peaks-Over-threshold (POT) and, two widely used methods of estimation in extremes when applying BM or POT are the maximum likelihood (ML) and probability weighted moment (PWM). We prove asymptotic normality of the estimators under the BM approach and maximum domain of attraction conditions. This permits to compare their asymptotic performance under BM and POT approaches.
