Measures of extremal dependence in time series
Popovič, Viktor ; Pawlas, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Hudecová, Šárka (referee)
In the present thesis we deal with dependence among extremal values within time series. Concerning this type of relations the commonly used autocorrelation function does not provide sufficient information. Moreover, autocorrelation function is suitable for Gaussian processes while nowadays we often work with heavy-tailed time series. In this thesis we cover two measures of extremal dependence that are used for this type of data. We introduce the coefficient of tail dependence, measure of extremal dependence based on tail characteristics of joint survival function. The second measure is called extremogram, which depends only on the extreme values in the sequence. In addition to the theoretical part, simulation study and application to real data of both described measures including their comparison are performed. Results are stated together with tables and graphical output.
