Extreme value distributions of mixing two sequences with different MDA's

Abstract: Suppose {Xi, i≥1} and {Yi, i≥1} are two independent sequences with distribution functions FX(x) and FY(x), respectively. Zi,n is the combination ofXi and Yi with a probability pn for each i with 1≤i≤n. The extreme value distribution GZ(x) of this particular triangular array of the i.i.d. random variables Z1,n, Z2,n, ..., Zn,n is discussed. We found a new form of the extreme value distribution ΛA(ρx)Λ(x) (0<ρ<1), which is not max-stable. It occurs if FX(x) and FY(x) belong to the same MDA(Λ). GZ(x) does not exist as mixture forms of the different types of extreme value distributions.

Key words: Extreme value distribution, Maximum domain of attraction (MDA), Mixed distribution functions
