10 Generalized Extreme-Value distributions Margins: shape γ j R, location µ j R, scale α j (0, ) exp[ {1 + γ j (x j µ j )/α j } 1/γ j ] if γ j 0, G j (x j ) = exp[ exp{ (x j µ j )/α j }] if γ j = 0 Stable tail dependence function (stdf) l : [0, ) d [0, ) G(x) = exp[ l{ log G 1 (x 1 ),..., log G d (x d )}] Notation: G = GEV(γ, µ, α, l) Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

11 Identifiability issue Max-stability: G = GEV(γ, µ, α, l) = G t = GEV(γ, µ(t), α(t), l), 0 < t < with µ(t) =... and α(t) =... (exercise). However: GP(G t ) = GP(G). Therefore: not all GEV parameters are identifiable from H = GP(G). Solution? Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

12 Cumulative distribution function Let G = GEV(γ, µ, α, l). Suppose σ = α γµ (0, ) Then 0 < G(0) < 1. Let H = GP(G). For x R such that σ + γx > 0, ( H(x) = l π (1 + γ(x 0)/σ) 1/γ) l (π (1 + γx/σ) 1/γ) where, in case also x 0, H j (0) = π j H j (x j ) H j (0) = (1 + γ jx j /σ j ) 1/γ j H(x) = l ( H 1 (x 1 ),..., H d (x d ) ) Parametrization: H = GP(γ, σ, π, l).

X = σ eγz 1 γ The support of Z is contained in [, ) \ [, 0] and P[Z z] = l ( πe (z 0)) l ( πe z) How to construct Z? Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

15 Spectral representation A random vector S in [, 0] d is a spectral random vector if: P[max(S 1,..., S d ) = 0] = 1 P[S j > ] > 0, j = 1,..., d Let E be a unit exponential random variable independent of S. Then where Z := S + E GP(0, 1, π, l) π j = E[e S j ] [ l(y) = E max j=1,...,d { e S }] j y j π j H(z) = 1 E[1 e max(s z) ] Conversely: given π and l with l(π) = 1, there exists a unique (in law) spectral random vector S such that the above holds. Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

16 Constructing spectral random vectors (1) Let T be a random vector in [, ) d such that Then 0 < E[e T j ] <, j = 1,..., d P[max(T 1,..., T d ) > ] = 1 S = T max(t) is a spectral random vector. The associated GP(0, 1, π, l) = GP S (0, 1, L(S)) distribution is determined by π j = E[e Tj max(t) ] [ { l(y) = E max j=1,...,d y j }] e T j max(t) E[e Tj max(t) ] H(z) = 1 E[1 e max(t z) max(t) ] Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

17 Density (1) Suppose T has support included in R d and is absolutely continuous with Lebesgue density f T. Then the GP T (0, 1, L(T)) distribution has Lebesgue density h given by h(z) = 1(z 0) 1 e max(z) 0 f T (z + log t) t 1 dt.

22 Constructing spectral random vectors (2) Let U be a random vector in [, ) d such that 0 < E[e U j ] < for all j. Let S be the spectral random vector defined in distribution by P[S ] = E [ 1{U max(u) } e max(u)] E[e max(u) ] The associated GP(0, 1, π, l) = GP S (0, 1, L(S)) distribution is given by π j = E[eU j ] E[e max(u) ] [ l(y) = E max j=1,...,d { y j e U }] j E[e U j] H(z) = 1 E[emax(U) e max(u z) ] E[e max(u) ] Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

23 Density (2) Suppose U has support included in R d and is absolutely continuous with Lebesgue density f T. Then the GP U (0, 1, L(U)) distribution has Lebesgue density h given by h(z) = 1(z 0) 1 E[e max(u) ] 0 f U (z + log t) dt.

28 Lower-dimensional margins Let X be GP and let J {1,..., d}. The law of X J = (X j ) j J is not GP. The law of X J given that max j J X j > 0 is GP: X GP(γ, σ, π, l) = L(X J X J 0) = GP (γ J, σ J, (P[X j > u j X J 0]) j J, l J ) X GP U (γ, σ, U) = L(X J X J 0) = GP U (γ J, σ J, L(U J )) If J = {j}, we find that L(X j X j > 0) = GP(γ j, σ j ).

29 Threshold stability Univariate GP distributions are threshold stable. What if multivariate? Let X GP(γ, σ, π, l). Let u [0, ) d be such that P(X j > u j ) > 0 for all j. Then L(X u X u) = GP (γ, σ + γu, (P[X j > u j X u]) j, l) Change of marginal parameters as in univariate case Change from π j = P[X j > 0] to P[X j > u j X u] Same stdf l Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

30 Linear combinations Let X GP S (γ, σ, π, l) be such that γ 1 =... = γ d =: γ. Let a [0, ) d and write a X = d j=1 a jx j. If P[a X > 0] > 0, then L(a X a X > 0) = GP(γ, a σ). Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37

31 Linear transformations Let X GP S (γ, σ, L(S)) be such that γ 1 =... = γ d =: γ. Let A = (a i,j ) i,j [0, ) m d be such that P[A ix > 0] > 0 for all i. For x R m such that A iσ + γx i > 0 for all i = 1,..., m, [ ] P[AX x] = E 1 max {(1 + γx i/a iσ) 1/γ e U i } i=1,...,m where U = (U 1,..., U m ) is given by γ 1 log ( d j=1 U i = p i,j e γs ) j if γ 0, d j=1 p i,j S j if γ = 0, where p i,j = a i,j σ j /A iσ j. As a consequence, L(AX AX 0) = GP U (γ, Aσ, L(U)). Kiriliouk/Rootzén/Segers/Wadsworth Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions Nanterre, 26 May / 37
