Estimation of the Tail Index of Pareto-Type Distributions Using Regularisation

In this paper, we introduce reduced-bias estimators for the estimation of the tail index of Pareto-type distributions. This is achieved through the use of a regularised weighted least squares with an exponential regression model for log-spacings of top-order statistics. The asymptotic properties of...
