We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on a Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel and extreme values of point processes. We give conditions for various kinds of convergence and asymptotic normality. We propose a method of reducing the negative bias and edge effects, illustrated by some simulations.

This paper deals with a weak convergence of maximum vectors built on the base of stationary and normal sequences of relatively strongly dependent random vectors. The discussion concentrates on the normality of limits and extends some results of McCormick and Mittal [4] to the multivariate case.
We define a family of local mixing conditions that enable the computation of the extremal index of periodic sequences from the joint distributions of k consecutive variables of the sequence. By applying results, under local and global mixing conditions, to the (2m - 1)-dependent periodic sequence Xn(m) = Σj=-mm-1 cjZn-j, n ≥ 1, we compute the extremal index of the periodic moving average sequence Xn = Σj=-∞∞ cjZn-j, n ≥ 1, of random variables with regularly varying tail probabilities.This paper...
The extremal shape factor of spheroidal particles is studied. Three dimensional particles are considered to be observed via their two dimensional profiles and the problem is to predict the extremal shape factor in a given size class. We proof the stability of the domain of attraction of the spheroid’s and its profile shape factor under a tail equivalence condition. We show namely that the Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern bivariate distributions gives the tail uniformity. We provide a way how to find normalising...
