Estimating the components of a mixture of extremal distributions under strong dependence

Crisci, Carolina - Perera, Gonzalo - Sampognaro Charquero, Lía

Resumen:

In this paper, we provide a method based on quantiles to estimate the parameters of a finite mixture of Fréchet distributions, for a large sample of strongly dependent data. This is a situation that appears when dealing with environmental data and there was a real need of such method. We validate our approach by means of estimation and goodness-of-fit testing over simulated data, showing an accurate performance.
