POT-Based Estimation of the Renewal Function of Interoccurrence Times of Heavy-Tailed Risks

Making use of the peaks over threshold (POT) estimation method, we propose a semiparametric estimator for the renewal function of interoccurrence times of heavy-tailed insurance claims with infinite variance. We prove that the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal, and we carry...
