Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory
This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () = {() ≥ }, with ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () = { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric difference....
