Estimation of the extreme value index in a censorship framework: asymptotic and finite sample behaviour

Résumé

We revisit the estimation of the extreme value index for randomly censored data from a heavy tailed distribution. We introduce a new class of estimators which encompasses earlier proposals given in Worms and Worms (2014) and Beirlant et al. (2018), which were shown to have good bias properties compared with the pseudo maximum likelihood estimator proposed in Beirlant et al. (2007) and Einmahl et al. (2008). However the asymptotic normality of the type of estimators first proposed in Worms and Worms (2014) was still lacking, in the random threshold case. We derive an asymptotic representation and the asymptotic normality of the larger class of estimators and consider their finite sample behaviour. Special attention is paid to the case of heavy censoring, i.e. where the amount of censoring in the tail is at least 50\%. We obtain the asymptotic normality with a classical $\sqrt{k}$ rate where $k$ denotes the number of top data used in the estimation, depending on the degree of censoring.
