Robust Estimation of the Generalized Pareto Distribution
A median estimator is constructed for the parameters \(\gamma\), \(\sigma\) of the generalized Pareto distribution \(F(x)=1-(1+\gamma x/\sigma)^{-1/\gamma}\) by i.i.d. samples. Asymptotic normality of the estimator is demonstrated and the limit covariance matrix is evaluated.

On the average uncertainty for systems with nonlinear coupling [PDF]
The increased uncertainty and complexity of nonlinear systems have motivated investigators to consider generalized approaches to defining an entropy function.

Dynamic multi‐objective optimisation of complex networks based on evolutionary computation
Abstract As the problems concerning the number of information to be optimised is increasing, the optimisation level is getting higher, the target information is more diversified, and the algorithms are becoming more complex; the traditional algorithms such as particle swarm and differential evolution are far from being able to deal with this situation ...

A New Heavy Tailed Class of Distributions Which Includes the Pareto
In this paper, a new heavy-tailed distribution, the mixture Pareto-loggamma distribution, derived through an exponential transformation of the generalized Lindley distribution is introduced.

Scattering statistics of rock outcrops: Model-data comparisons and Bayesian inference using mixture distributions [PDF]
The probability density function of the acoustic field amplitude scattered by the seafloor was measured in a rocky environment off the coast of Norway using a synthetic aperture sonar system, and is reported here in terms of the probability of false ...

Generalized Pareto Copulas: A Key to Multivariate Extremes
This paper reviews generalized Pareto copulas (GPC), which turn out to be a key to multivariate extreme value theory. Any GPC can be represented in an easy analytic way using a particular type of norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$, called $D$-norm.
