Normally Distributed

We study distribution of extreme values of a mixture of an infinite sequence of independent normally distributed variables with the same mean and an increasing sequence of standard deviations, and prove that the common distribution function belongs to the domain of attraction of Gumbel extreme value distribution. The norming constants for the maximum also are given.

Necessary And Sufficient

Let X1, X2, …, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, with the common distribution function F(x). The sequence is said to be normally attracted to a stable law V with characteristic exponent α, if for some an (converges in distribution to V). Necessary and sufficient conditions for normal attraction are known (cf [1, p. 181]).

Let {ξ n , n ≧1} be a sequence of independent real random variables, F denote the common distribution function of identically distributed random variables ξ n , n ≧1 and let ξ 1 have an arbitrary distribution. Define Xn+ 1 = k max(Xn, ξ n +1), Yn + 1 = max(Yn, ξ n +1) – c, Un +1 = l min(Un, ξ n +1), Vn+ 1 = min(Vn, ξ n +1) + c, n ≧ 1, 0 < k < 1, l > 1, 0 < c < ∞, and X 1 = Υ 1 = U 1 = V 1 = ξ 1. We establish conditions under which the limit law of max(X 1, · ··, Xn ) coincides with that of max(ξ 2, · ··, ξ n+ 1) when both are appropriately normed. A similar exercise is carried out for the extreme statistics max(Y 1, · ··, Yn ), min(U 1,· ··, Un ) and min(V 1, · ··, Vn ).

Let F be a distribution function in the domain of attraction of an extreme-value distribution H γ. If F u is the distribution function of the excesses over u and G γ the distribution function of the generalized Pareto distribution, then it is well known that F u (x) converges to G γ(x/σ(u)) as u tends to the end point of F, where σ is an appropriate normalizing function. We study the rate of (uniform) convergence to 0 of F̅ u (x)-G̅γ((x+u-α(u))/σ(u)), where α and σ are two appropriate normalizing functions.

Let F be a distribution function in the domain of attraction of an extreme-value distribution Hγ. If Fu is the distribution function of the excesses over u and Gγ the distribution function of the generalized Pareto distribution, then it is well known that Fu(x) converges to Gγ(x/σ(u)) as u tends to the end point of F, where σ is an appropriate normalizing function. We study the rate of (uniform) convergence to 0 of F̅u(x)-G̅γ((x+u-α(u))/σ(u)), where α and σ are two appropriate normalizing functions.

Trimmed Sum

Let X, X1, X2,… be a sequence of non-degenerate i.i.d. random variables with common distribution function F. For 1 ≤ j ≤ n, let mn(j) be the number of Xi satisfying either |Xi| > |Xj|, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, or |Xi| = |Xj|, 1 ≤ i ≤ j, and let (r)Xn = Xj if mn(j) = r. Thus (r)Xn is the rth largest random variable in absolute value from amongst X1, …, Xn with ties being broken according to the order in which the random variables occur. Set (r)Sn = (r+1)Xn + … + (n)Xn and write Sn for (0)Sn. We will refer to (r)Sn as a trimmed sum.
