Abstract:
|
The multivariate extremal index function is a direction specific extension of the well-known univariate extremal index. Since statistical inference on this function is difficult it is desirable to have a broad characterization of
its attributes. We extend the set of common properties of the multivariate extremal index function and derive sharp bounds for the entire function given only marginal dependence. Our results correspond to certain restrictions on
the two dependence functions defining the multivariate extremal index, which are opposed to Smith and Weissman’s (1996) conjecture on arbitrary dependence functions. We show further how another popular dependence measure, the extremal coefficient, is closely related to the multivariate extremal index. Thus, given the value of the former it turns out that the above bounds may be improved substantially. Conversely, we specify improved bounds for the
extremal coefficient itself that capitalize on marginal dependence, thereby approximating two views of dependence that have frequently been treated separately. Our results are completed with example processes.
