Generalized Pareto distributions (GPD) are widely used for modeling
excesses over high thresholds (within the framework of the POT-approach to modeling
extremes). The aim of the paper is to give the review of the classical techniques for
estimating GPD quantiles, and to apply these methods in finance - to estimate the Value-
at-Risk (VaR) parameter, and discuss certain difficulties related to this subject.
Classification :
