Let X 1 ; X 2 ; : : : ; be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. X j ; j 6 n is called a near-maximum i X j falls within a distance of the maximum M n = max{X 1 ; : : : ; X n }. In this paper, we focus on medium tailed distributions. A useful relationship on the number of near-maxima is built betwe

We present a Poisson approximation with applications to extreme value theory. Let X1; X2; : : : be i.i.d. and let n be the j largest order statistics. Then the asymptotic behavior of the vector (M (1) n ; : : : ; M ( j) n ) is the same as that of (M (1) N ; : : : ; M ( j) N ) where N is a random va
