Analysis of extreme values
Vyhlídka, Jan ; Hendrych, Radek (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to introduce basic concepts of the extreme value theory. The first chapter describes two fundamentally different approaches - block maxima and peaks over threshold models. Furthermore, it presents generalized extreme value distribution and generalized Pareto distribution. Moreover, relevant theorems and characteristics that are tied to these probabilistic distributions are discussed. The second chapter is a survey of various methods of parameter estimation of discussed distributions. The last chapter shows a simple application of how extreme value theory can be applied in finance on selected shares listed on the Prague Stock Exchange.

Methods of modelling and statistical analysis of an extremal value process
Jelenová, Klára ; Volf, Petr (advisor) ; Branda, Martin (referee)
In the present work we deal with the problem of etremal value of time series, especially of maxima. We study times and values of maximum by an approach of point process and we model distribution of extremal values by statistical methods. We estimate parameters of distribution using different methods, namely graphical methods of data analysis and subsequently we test the estimated distribution by tests of goodness of fit. We study the stationary case and also the cases with a trend. In connection with distribution of excesess and exceedances over a threshold we deal with generalized Pareto distribution.

Extreme Value Theory in Actuarial Sciences
Jamáriková, Zuzana ; Mazurová, Lucie (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis is focused on the models based on extreme value theory and their practical applications. Specifically are described the block maxima models and the models based on threshold exceedances. Both of these methods are described in thesis theoretically. Apart from theoretical description there are also practical calculations based on simulated or real data. The applications of block maxima models are focused on choice of block size, suitability of the models for specific data and possibilities of extreme data analysis. The applications of models based on threshold exceedances are focused on choice of threshold and on suitability of the models. There is an example of the model used for calculations of reinsurance premium for extreme claims in the case of nonproportional reinsurance.

Operational risk modelling
Mináriková, Eva ; Mazurová, Lucie (advisor) ; Hlubinka, Daniel (referee)
In the present thesis we will firstly familiarize ourselves with the term of operational risk, it's definition presented in the directives Basel II and Solvency II, and afterwards with the methods of calculation Capital Requirements for Operational Risk, set by these directives. In the second part of the thesis we will concentrate on the methods of modelling operational loss data. We will introduce the Extreme Value Theory which describes possible approaches to modelling data with significant values that occur infrequently; the typical characteristic of operational risk data. We will mainly focus on the model for threshold exceedances which utilizes Generalized Pareto Distribution to model the distribution of those excesses. The teoretical knowledge of this theory and the appropriate modelling will be applied on simulated loss data. Finally we will test the ability of presented methods to model loss data distributions.

Modelování extrémních hodnot
Shykhmanter, Dmytro ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Luknár, Ivan (referee)
Modeling of extreme events is a challenging statistical task. Firstly, there is always a limit number of observations and secondly therefore no experience to back test the result. One way of estimating higher quantiles is to fit one of theoretical distributions to the data and extrapolate to the tail. The shortcoming of this approach is that the estimate of the tail is based on the observations in the center of distribution. Alternative approach to this problem is based on idea to split the data into two sub-populations and model body of the distribution separately from the tail. This methodology is applied to non-life insurance losses, where extremes are particularly important for risk management. Never the less, even this approach is not a conclusive solution of heavy tail modeling. In either case, estimated 99.5% percentiles have such high standard errors, that the their reliability is very low. On the other hand this approach is theoretically valid and deserves to be considered as one of the possible methods of extreme value analysis.
