Multivariate regular variation on cones: application to extreme values, hidden regular variation and conditioned limit laws

Abstract

We attempt to bring some modest unity to three subareas of heavy tail analysis and extreme value theory:

  • limit laws for componentwise maxima of iid random variables;

  • hidden regular variation and asymptotic independence;

  • conditioned limit laws when one component of a random vector is extreme.

The common theme is multivariate regular variation on a cone and the three cases cited come from specifying the cones and [0, ∞] × (0, ∞].
