2 Outline of Topics

3 Multivariate Extreme Value model Define i.i.d p-dimensional random vectors: X k = (X,k,, X p,k ), k =,, n with marginal distribution Pr(X i,k x i ) = F Xi (x i ), i =,, p. The ith component maximum: M i,n = max(x i,,, X i,n ) Choose normalising constants a n = (a,n,, a p,n ) and b n = (b,n,, b p,n ) such that, { } lim Pr Mi,n b i,n x i = G(x,, x d ) n a i,n Denoting by vectors, we get: { } lim Pr Mn b n = G(x) n a n

4 Multivariate Extreme Value model It is easily checked that all the marginal distributions of G are Generalised Extreme Value distribution (GEV), which belongs to one of the following three families (Fisher-Tippett theorem). F Xi (x i ) = G(,,, x i,,, ) Gumbel : exp { exp( x i )} = Fréchet : exp { x α } i Weibull : exp { ( x i ) α } A common practice is to choose the Fréchet marginals, and usually the unit Fréchet case when shape parameter = /α =. This is WOLG, as any marginal distributions can be changed into a unit Fréchet by a probability integral transformation. Details can be found in Smith (2003).

5 Multivariate Extreme Value model Pickands representation: For x with unit Fréchet marginals, x follows a multivariate extreme value distribution iff its joint distribution function can be represented as: G(x) = exp { V (x)} () Here, V (x) is the exponent measure as in de Haan and Resnick (977) and can be expressed in terms of an angular measure H (density h) as: V (x) = max (w i ) dh(w) (2) i p x i

6 Multivariate Extreme Value model Where, H is a positive finite measure on the (p )-simplex, p = (w,..., w p ) : w j =, w j 0, j =,, p j= satisfying the following constraint. MEV constraint: Suppose x i = u, x j =, j i, i =,, p, then, V (,,, u,,, ) = u. Thus, = w i dh(w) = V (,,,,,, ) (3) wherever the is.

7 Multivariate Extreme Value model General case: V (x) = { } max (w i ) dh (w) (4) i p x i MEV constraint (general): = wi dh (w) = V (,,,,,, ) (5) wherever the is. In this case, G (x) has Fréchet marginals with shape parameter and scale parameter.

8 Limitation of the Multivariate Extreme Value model As stated in Ledford and Tawn (996), all Bivariate Extreme Value models with Fréchet marginals have: { r lim Pr(X asymptotic dependence > r, X 2 > r) = r r 2 exact independence However, strictly speaking, there should also be negative association and positive association under asymptotic independence.

9 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model Ledford-Tawn model: Ledford and Tawn (997) For (Z k, Z 2k ), k =,, n with unit Fréchet marginals but unknown dependence structure, the joint survival functions F Z Z 2 has the following asymptotic form: F Z Z 2 (z, z 2 ) = L(z, z 2 )z c z c 2 2 where, c + c 2 = ( is called the Coefficient of tail dependence), L(z, z 2 ) is a bivariate slowly varying function (BSV) L(tz with limiting function g, i.e., lim,tz 2 ) t L(t,t) = g(z, z 2 ) and g(cz, cz 2 ) = g(z, z 2 ), c > 0, z, z 2 > 0.

10 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model Ramos and Ledford (2007) reformulated the Ledford-Tawn model: F Z Z 2 (z, z 2 ) = L(z, z 2 )(z z 2 ) 2 where, L(z, z 2 ) = L(z, z 2 )( z ) κ/2, κ = c 2 c z 2 Consider the limiting joint survival distribution of the conditional variables (X, X 2 ) = (Z /u, Z 2 /u) (Z > u, Z 2 > u), thus, X, X 2. Then, F X X 2 (x, x 2 ) = lim u Pr(Z >ux,z 2 >ux 2 ) Pr(Z >u,z 2 >u) L(ux,ux = lim 2 ) u L(u,u) (x x 2 ) /2 = g(x,x 2 ) = g ( x ) x +x 2 (x x 2 ) /2 (x x 2 ) /2

11 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model Ramos-Ledford spetral model: By taking a polar-coordinate transformation, the following relationship of the limiting survivor in terms of an angular measure H is obtained: F X X 2 (x x 2 ) = 0 { min( w, w } ) x x 2 dh (w) Ramos-Ledford Constraint: Suppose x = x = u, then, F X X 2 (u, u) = u. Thus, the following normalising condition should hold: { = min( w, w } ) dh x x (w) = F X X 2 (, ) 2 0

12 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model Multivariate version: Define i.i.d p-dimensional random vectors Z k = (Z,k,, Z p,k ), k =,, n, with unit Fréchet marginals. By assuming multivariate regular variation, we have F Z Z p (z,, z p ) = L(z,, z p )z c z cp p (6) where, z,, z p > 0, c + + c p =, L is a multivariate regularly varying function (MRV) satisfying: L(tz,, tz p ) lim = g(z,, z p ) t L(t,, t) and g(cz,, cz p ) = g(z,, z p ), c > 0, z,, z p > 0.

13 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model Rewrite the Eq. (6), we get, F Z Z p (z,, z p ) = L(z,, z p )(z z p ) p (7) ( ) κ2/p ( ) κ23/p ( ) κp/p where, L = L z z2 z 2 z 3 z z p, κ 2 = c 2 c, κ 23 = c 3 c 2,, κ p = c p c. Define conditional variables: (X,, X p ) = (Z /u,, Z p /u) (Z > u,, Z p > u), thus, X,, X p. Then, F X X p (x,, x p ) = lim u Pr(Z >ux,,z p>ux p) = lim u L(ux,,ux p) = g(x,,x p) (x x p) /p = L(u,,u) ( g Pr(Z >u,,z p>u) (x x p) /p ) x x,, p p i= x i p i= x i (x x p) /p (8)

14 Ramos-Ledford-Tawn model By taking a polar-coordinate transformation again, we have: F X X p (x,, x p ) = Ramos-Ledford Constraint (general): Suppose { } min (w i ) dh i p x (w) (9) i x i = u, i =,, p, then, F X X p (u,, u) = u. Thus, the following normalising condition should hold: = { } min w i dh (w) = F X X p (,, ) (0) i p

15 From h 0 to h Theorem : Given any positive function h 0 with finite moments on, then, where, h (w) = (m w) (p+ ) p i= m i h 0( m w m w,, m pw p m w ) () m i = ui h 0 (u) du, i =,, p (2) is the density of a valid measure function H, satisfying the MEV constraint (general), i.e., Eq. (5). The special case when = reduces to the result in Coles and Tawn (99).

16 From h to h Theorem 2: Given any function h satisfying the MEV constraint (general), i.e., Eq. (5), then, where, h (w) = h (w) δ (3) δ = p + ( ) 3 V (,,,,,,,,,, ) + + ( ) p+ V (,, ) (4) is a valid density function of a measure function H, satisfying the Ramos-Ledford Constraint (general), i.e., Eq. (0). The special case when d = 2 and = is given in Ramos and Ledford (2007), where, h (w) = h(w)/(2 V (, )).

17 From h to h Sketch of the proof: It is straightforward to check that, = { min i p w i { min i p w i } h (w) dw } h (w) { } dw = min w i h (w) dw i p

18 From h to h According to the inclusion-exclusion principle, σ = { min = ( ) 2 p i= i p w i w } h (w) dw i +( ) 3 p i= p j=i+ h (w) dw { + + ( ) + p max i p w i max i j, i p, i+ j p } (w i, w j ) h (w) dw h (w) dw

19 General survival functions Following the definition of F X X p (x,, x p ) in terms of angular measures, we get, F X X p (x,, x p ) { = min (w i ) i p x i { = δ S min p = δ i p (w i { min i p (w i } h (w) dw } ) h (w) dw x i } (m w) (p+ ) ) x i p i= m i h 0( m w m w,, m p w p m w ) dw (5)

20 General survival functions As F Z Z p (z,, z p ) = λ F X X p ( z u,, zp u ), where λ = Pr(Z > u,, Z p > u). F Z Z p (z,, z p ) { = λu δ min (w i ) i p z i p i= m i h 0( m w m w,, m p w p m w ) dw } (m w) (p+ ) where, as defined in Theorem and 2, m i = ui h 0 (u) du, i =,, p δ = p + ( ) 3 V (,,,,,,,,,, ) + + ( ) p+ V (,, ) (6)

21 Validility check We check the validility of F Z Z 2 x x 2, y y 2, as a survival function, i.e., for F Z Z 2 (x 2, y 2 {[ ) F Z Z 2 (x, y 2 ) F Z Z 2 (x 2, y ) + F Z Z 2 (x, y ) = λu δ x x x +y w h x (w) dw x x 2 ] x 2 +y 2 w h x (w) dw 2 [ x +y 2 x 2 +y y y 2 x 2 x 2 +y ( w) x x +y x 2 x 2 +y 2 ( w) x x +y 2 h (w) dw h (w) dw ]}

22 A theoretical example Take the Dirichlet distribution for example, { p p h 0 (w) = Γ(α i )} Γ(α ) i= According to the definition of m i, we have, i= w α i i m i = Γ(α )Γ(α i + ) Γ(α i )Γ(α + i =,, p ),

23 A theoretical example By Theorem, we get, denoting h (w) = p i= p i= = p i= γ = (γ,, γ p ) = Γ (α i + ) Γ(α + ) Γ + (α i ) { p Γ (α i + } p+ ) i= Γ w (α i ) i Γ (α i + α ) Γ w (α i ) i i p Γ (α i + ) i= Γ w (α i ) i γ Γ(α + i ) p Γ(α i ) (γ w) p+ i= ( Γ (α + ) Γ (α ) { } αi γi w i γ w (7),, Γ (α p + ) ) Γ (8) (α p )

24 A theoretical example Following Theorem 2, we get, p h(w) = δα γ i Γ(α + ),,α p, Γ(α i ) (γ w) p+ where, i= δ α,,α p, = p + ( ) 3 p p i= ( ) p+ γ Γ(α + i ) Γ(α i ) (γ w) p+ { p i= max i p w j i= p j=i+ } { γi w i γ w p i= p i= { } γi w αi i γ w max } ] αi dw + + i j, i p, i+ j p γ i Γ(α + ) Γ(α i ) (γ w) p+ p (9) (w i, w j ) i= { } γi w αi i dw γ w

25 A theoretical example For d = 2, then, h (w) = γ γ 2 { γ w γ w+γ 2 ( w) Γ(α +α 2 + ) Γ(α )Γ(α 2 ) {γ w+γ 2 ( w)} 2+ } α2 } α { γ2 ( w) γ w+γ 2 ( w) (20) V (x, x 2 ) = x { I γ x (α + } γ x, α 2) + x 2 I γ x γ x (α, α 2 + ) (2) where, I v (a, b) = Γ(a+b) v Γ(a)Γ(b) 0 ta ( t) b dt is the regularized incomplete beta function, and a, b > 0.

26 A theoretical example Thus, where, h(w) = δ { γ w γ w+γ 2 ( w) γ γ 2 Γ(α +α 2 + ) α,α 2, Γ(α )Γ(α 2 ) {γ w+γ 2 ( w)} 2+ } α2 } α { γ2 ( w) γ w+γ 2 ( w) (22) δ α,α 2, = + I γ (α + γ, α 2) I γ (α, α 2 + γ ) (23) Then, F X X 2 (x, x 2 ) = δ α,α 2, [ x I γ x γ x (α +, α 2) + x 2 { } ] I γ x (α, α 2 + γ x ) (24)

27 A theoretical example As F Z Z 2 (z, z 2 ) = λ F X X 2 ( z Then, F Z Z 2 (z, z 2 ) = λu δ α,α 2, [ z I γ z γ z u, z 2 u ), where λ = Pr(Z > u, Z 2 > u). (α +, α 2) + z 2 { I γ z γ z (α, α 2 + ) } ] (25) We further get the density of the distribution function as follows: f Z Z 2 (z, z 2 ; Θ) = λu γ δα γ 2 Γ(α + α 2 + ) (γ z ) α (γ 2 z 2 ) α 2,α 2, Γ(α )Γ(α 2 ) (γ z + γ 2 z 2 ) α +α 2 + (26) where, parameter set Θ = (α, α 2,, λ).
