Talk Title: Extreme value analysis for mixture models with heavy-tailed impurity
Abstract: While there exists a well-established theory for the asymptotic behaviour of maxima of the i.i.d. sequences, very few results are available for the triangular arrays, when the distribution can change over time. Typically, the papers on this issue deal with convergence to the Gumbel law (see [1], [3]) or twice-differentiable distribution [4].
For practical purposes we describe the procedure of the application of the considered model to the analysis of financial returns. In this context, our research develops the idea that their distribution is somewhere "in between" the exponential and power laws [5].
