The paper examines several classes of probability distributions with heavy tails. An (asymptotic) expression for tail probability needs to be known to understand which class a given probability distribution belongs to. It is usually not easy to get expressions for tail probabilities since most absolutely continuous probability distributions are specified by probability density functions and not by distribution functions. The paper proposes a method to obtain asymptotic expressions for tail probabilities using only probability density functions. Some examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

Despite the stylized statistical features of returns of financial returns such as fat-tailed distribution and leverage effect, no stochastic volatility models that can explicitly capture these features have been presented in the existing frequentist approach. we propose an approximate parameterization of stochastic volatility models that can explicitly capture the fat-tailed distribution and leverage effect of financial returns and a maximum likelihood estimation of the model using Langrock et al. (2012)'s hidden Markov model approximation in a frequentist approach. Through extensive simulation experiments and an empirical analysis, we present the statistical evidences validating the efficacy and accuracy of proposed parameterization.

We consider condence intervals for high quantiles of heavy-tailed distribution. The asymptotic condence intervals based on the limiting distribution of estimators are considered together with bootstrap condence intervals. We can also apply a non-parametric, parametric and semi-parametric approach to each of these two kinds of condence intervals. We considered 11 condence intervals and compared their performance in actual coverage probability and the length of condence intervals. Simulation study shows that two condence intervals (the semi-parametric asymptotic condence interval and the semi-parametric bootstrap condence interval using pivotal quantity) are relatively more stable under the criterion of actual coverage probability.

An autoregressive model with normal errors is a natural model that attempts to fit time series data. More flexible models that include normal distribution as a special case are necessary because they can cover normality to non-normality models. The skewed exponential power distribution is a possible candidate for autoregressive models errors that may have tails lighter(platykurtic) or heavier(leptokurtic) than normal and skewness; in addition, the use of skewed exponential power distribution can reduce the influence of outliers and consequently increases the robustness of the analysis. We use SIR algorithm and grid method for an efficient Bayesian estimation.

확률화 블록 계획법에서 우산형 대립가설에 대한 점근 분포 무관 검정법을 제시하고 제안된 검정통계량의 점근적 정규성과 모수적 방법 및 비모수적 방법의 점근상대효율을 관찰하였다. 검점통계량은 블록 효과를 추정하여 제거한 관측치의 전체 블록 순위를 사용하여 제안하였으며 제안된 검정통계량의 소표본 Monte Carlo 연구를 통해 실험 검정력을 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안된 검정통계량이 꼬리가 두꺼운 분포에서는 전반적으로 우수하고 로버스트한 것으로 나타났다.

일반적으로 회귀분석의 최적화는 평균적인 개념을 확장하여 사용되어지고 있다. 평균은 관찰값들에 관한 모든 정보와 관련된 통계량으로써 많은 연구에 이용되어지고 있다. 정규분포를 이루는 모집단의 경우 평균을 사용한 추정이 바람직하지만, 이상치로 인한 분포의 꼬리가 두꺼워지는 경우 중위수(median)를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 알려져 있다. 강수량의 분포형태는 꼬리(tail)가 두꺼운 왜곡된 형태를 갖고 있으므로 robust 통계량인 Quantile을 이용한 강수량의 분석 및 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 Quantile에 따른 회귀선의 변화를 이용하여 강수량의 경향성을 평가하고, 극치강수량의 변화를 보여줄 수 있는 Quantle값을 추출해 보고자 한다. 또한 bootstrap 방법을 이용하여 Quantile에 따른 회귀계수의 신뢰구간을 분석하여 회귀인자의 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 Quantile Regression 기법은 회귀계수의 추정에 있어서 회귀인자의 신뢰성을 Quantile-회귀계수 그래프를 통해 분석할 수 있으며, 이상값의 영향을 저감시키는 평균과 달리 이상값의 영향을 효과적으로 분리 및 재현시킬 수 있어 극치값에 따른 변화를 효과적으로 평가할 수 있으며, robust 통계량의 특징인 분산이 적은 안정적인 추정량을 확보할 수 있다.

This paper compared the performance of the parametric method and the nonparametric method when estimating the distribution for the tail of the distribution with heavy tails. For the parametric method, the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution were used, and for the nonparametric method, the kernel density estimation method was applied. For comparison of the two approaches, the results of function estimation by applying the block maximum value model and the threshold excess model using daily fine dust public data for each observatory in Seoul from 2014 to 2018 are shown together. In addition, the area where high concentrations of fine dust will occur was predicted through the return level.

This paper introduces multifractal processes and presents the empirical investigation of the multifractal asset pricing. The multifractal stock price process contains long-tails which focus on Levy-Stable distributions. The process also contains long-dependence, which is the characteristic feature of fractional Brownian motion. Multifractality introduces a new source of heterogeneity through time-varying local reqularity in the price path. This paper investigates multifractality in stock prices. After finding evidence of multifractal scaling, the multifractal spectrum is estimated via the Legendre transform. The distinguishing feature of the multifractal process is multiscaling of the return distribution's moments under time-resealing. More intensive study is required of estimation techniques and inference procedures.

We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of heavy tailed distributions. In general, maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) is the most preferred method of parameter estimation because it has good properties such as asymptotic consistency, normality and efficiency. However, MLE is not always the best solution because MLE is unstable or does not exist in some cases. This paper proposes another parameter estimation method, non-linear least squares(NLS) and compares its performance to MLE. The NLS estimator is achieved by minimizing sum of squared difference between empirical cumulative distribution function(CDF) and a theoretical distribution function. In this article, we compare the NLS method to MLE using simulated data from heavy tailed distributions. The NLS method is shown to perform better than MLE in Burr distribution when the sample size is small; in addition, it performs well in a Frechet distribution.
