We establish estimators for the tail index of heavy-tailed distributions. A large deviation principle is proved. An estimator with U-statistic structure is constructed and its asymptotic normality is established. An estimator based on re-sampling procedure is developed and this provides a possibilit

We present a simple general method for estimating the thickness of heavy tails based on the asymptotics of the sum. The method works for dependent data, and only requires that the centered and normalized partial sums are stochastically compact. For data in the domain of attraction of a stable law ou

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the sinusoidal frequencies in presence of additive white noise. The additive white noise has mean zero but it may not have ΓΏnite variance. We propose to use the least-squares estimators or the approximate least-squares estimators to estimate the u
