Abstract

We propose a general method of parameter estimation of a distribution tail that does not depend on the fulfillment of the conditions of Gnedenko theorem. We prove the consistency of the proposed estimator and its asymptotic normality under the stronger conditions imposed on the parametric family of distribution tails. Additionally, the adaptation of the proposed method to Weibull and log-Weibull tail indices estimation is provided.
