We first consider a real random variable X represented through a random pair (R, T ) and a deterministic function u as X = R 路 u(T ). Under quite weak assumptions we prove a limit theorem for (R, T ) given X > x, as x tends to infinity. The novelty of our paper is to show that this theorem for the representation of the univariate random variable X permits us to obtain in an elegant manner conditional limit theorems for random pairs (X, Y ) = R 路 (u(T ), v(T )) given that X is large. Our approach allows to deduce new results as well as to recover under considerably weaker assumptions results obtained previously in the literature. Consequently, it provides a better understanding and systematization of limit statements for the conditional extreme value models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
