It is well known that a bivariate distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution G if and only if the marginals belong to the domain of attraction of the univariate marginal extreme value distributions and the dependence function converges to the stable tail...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test to detect when tail dependence is truly high-dimensional and bivariate simplifications would produce misleading results. This occurs when a significant portion of the...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test to detect when tail dependence is truly high{dimensional and bivariate simpli cations would produce misleading results. This occurs when a signi cant portion of the...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test for detecting situations when such pairwise measures are inadequate and give incomplete results. This occurs when a significant portion of the multivariate dependence...

Tail dependence models for distributions attracted to a max-stable law are tted using observations above a high threshold. To cope with spatial, high-dimensional data, a rankbased M-estimator is proposed relying on bivariate margins only. A data-driven weight matrix is used to minimize the...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test to detect when tail dependence is truly high{dimensional and bivariate simplications would produce misleading results. This occurs when a signicant portion of the...

Homogeneous distributions on R+d and on R¯+d∖︀{∞¯d} are shown to be Bauer simplices when normalized. This is used to provide spectral representations for the classical power mean values Mt(x) which turn out to be unique mixtures of the functions x⟼mini≤d(aixi) for t≤1 (with some...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test to detect when tail dependence is truly high-dimensional and bivariate simplifications would produce misleading results. This occurs when a significant portion of the...

In practice, multivariate dependencies of extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a novel test to detect when bivariate simplifications produce misleading results. This occurs when a significant portion of the multivariate dependence structure in the tails is of...
