Estimation of Extreme Depth-Based Quantile Regions
基于深度的极端分位数区域估计
Summary Consider the extreme quantile region induced by the half-space depth function HD of the form Q={x∈Rd:HD(x,P)⩽β}, such that PQ=p for a given, very small p > 0. Since this involves extrapolation outside the data cloud, this region can hardly be estimated through a fully non-parametric procedure. Using extreme value theory we construct a natural semiparametric estimator of this quantile region and prove a refined consistency result. A simulation study clearly…
