The Asymptotic Distribution of Maxima in Bivariate Samples
二元样本最大值的渐近分布
This article investigates the joint distribution, as n→ ∞, of the maxima in a sample of n independent observations of a bivariate random variable (X,Y). A method is presented for deriving the asymptotic distribution of the maxima provided that (1) X and Y possess asymptotic extreme-value distributions and (2) the probability element dF(x,y) has a canonical series expansion. Applied to the bivariate normal distribution, this method confirms the known fact that correlated…
