Semiparametric Tail Index Regression
半参数尾指数回归
Abstract–Understanding why extreme events occur is often of major scientific interest in many fields. The occurrence of these events naturally depends on explanatory variables, but there is a severe lack of flexible models with asymptotic theory for understanding this dependence, especially when variables can affect the outcome nonlinearly. This article proposes a novel semiparametric tail index regression model to fill the gap for this purpose. We construct consistent…
