摘要
The mean excess plot is a tool widely used in the study of risk, insurance and extreme values. One use is in validating a generalized Pareto model for the excess distribution. This paper investigates some theoretical and practical aspects of the use of the mean excess plot. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
