Some variations of the extremal index

Published in Zap. Nauchn. Semin. POMI. Volume 501, Probability and Statistics, 2021

This paper is an overview on the extremal index for stationary time series. It provides a new interpretation in terms of α-clusters, where α is the tail-index of the series.

Stable sums to infer high return levels of multivariate rainfall time series

Published in Environmetrics, 2022

This paper presents the stable sums method to infer high return levels of multivariate heavy-tailed time series. This new method is justified by the large deviations of powers of α-sums, where α is the tail-index of the series. Its main advantage is that is implementation coincides for dependent and independent time series.

On the asymptotics of extremal lp-blocks cluster inference

Published in Submitted, 2022

Recently, we proposed a new estimator for cluster inference for heavy-tailed time series. This paper states the asymptotic normality of our α-cluster-based estimator. We infer the extremal index, the cluster lengths and other important indices in extremes. Also, we compute the asymptotic variances for ARMA models and stochastic recurrence equations, which shows our estimator compares favourably with classical approaches in terms of variance.

Large deviations of lp-blocks of regularly varying time series and applications to cluster inference

Published in Stochastic processes and their applications, 2023

This paper studies large deviations of p-norms of stationary regularly varying time series. It introduces α-clusters, where α is the tail-index of the series, and proposes consistent disjoint blocks estimators of α-cluster features. This new methodology proves to be robust to handle time dependencies.
