In this work we propose a new estimator for Zenga's inequality measure in heavy tailed populations. The new estimator is based on the Weissman estimator for high quantiles. We will show that, under fairly general conditions, it has asymptotic normal distribution. Further we present the results...

We consider a risk-aware multi-armed bandit framework with the goal of avoiding catastrophic risk. Such a framework has multiple applications in financial risk management. We introduce a new conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) estimation procedure combining extreme value theory with automated...

Log-concavity and log-convexity play a key role in various scientific fields, especially in those where the distinction between exponential and non-exponential distributions is necessary for inferential purposes. In the present study, we introduce a testing procedure for the tail part of a...
