Title: A bootstrap result in extreme value theory
Abstract: fundamental tool in extreme value statistics is the expansion of the tail empirical process (H. Drees 1998). Virtually all estimators in one-dimensional extreme value theory are functionals of this process and their asymptotic behavior can be deduced from that of the tail empirical process. We have obtained a bootstrap analogue of this expansion that is helpful for bootstrapping the variance of extreme value estimators, for example the probability weighted moment estimator whose variance does not have a closed expression. We have results for both the block maxima and the peaks-over-threshold approach to extremes. Applications are presented.
