Abstract

We introduce the data driven extreme value distribution (DDEVD) estimator, a kernel-based method for estimating extreme value distributions from data. We derive its mean integrated squared error (MISE) in detail, use it to compute the optimal bandwidth and establish stability conditions for the bandwidth optimization procedure.
