The functional empirical process is a very powerful tool for deriving asymptotic laws for almost any kind of statistics whenever we know how to express them into functions of the sample. Since this method seems to be applied more and more…

We are concerned in this paper with the functional asymptotic behaviour of the sequence of stochastic processes T_{n}(f)=\sum_{j=1}^{j=k}f(j)(\log X_{n-j+1,n}-\log X_{n-j,n}), indexed by some classes $\mathcal{F}$ of functions $f:\mathbb{N}…

The extreme value index is a fundamental parameter in univariate Extreme Value Theory (EVT). It captures the tail behavior of a distribution and is central in the extrapolation beyond observed data. Among other semi-parametric methods (such…
