TY - GEN T1 - Approximations to the tail empirical distribution function with application to testing extreme value conditions A1 - Drees,Holger A1 - de Haan,Laurens A1 - Deyuan,Li Y1 - 2011/12/02 N2 - A weighted approximation to the tail empirical distribution function is derived which is suitable for applications in extreme value statistics. The approximation is used to develop a Cramer-von Mises type test for the extreme value conditions. A useful auxiliary result is a tail approximation to the distribution function.
