This much awaited book presents a comprehensive development of extreme value methodology for random walk models, time series, certain types of continuous-time stochastic processes and compound Poisson processes, all models which standardly occur in applications in insurance mathematics and mathematical finance. Both probabilistic and statistical methods are discussed in detail, with such topics as ruin theory for large claim models, fluctuation theory of sums and extremes of iid sequences, extremes in time series models, point process methods, statistical estimation of tail probabilities. Besides summarising and bringing together known results, the book also features topics that appear for the first time in textbook form, including the theory of subexponential distributions and the spectral theory of heavy-tailed time series. A typical chapter will introduce the new methodology in a rather intuitive (tough always mathematically correct) way, stressing the understanding of new techniques rather than following the usual "theorem-proof" format. Many examples, mainly from applications in insurance and finance, help to convey the usefulness of the new material. A final chapter on more extensive applications and/or related fields broadens the scope further. The book can serve either as a text for a graduate course on stochastics, insurance or mathematical finance, or as a basic reference source. Its reference quality is enhanced by a very extensive bibliography, annotated by various comments sections making the book broadly and easily accessible.Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability,0172-4568 ;33Actuarial scienceBusiness mathematicsEconometricsEconomics, Mathematical ProbabilitiesFinanceActuarial Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13080Business Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/523000Econometricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29010Quantitative Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Finance, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/600000Actuarial science.Business mathematics.Econometrics.Economics, Mathematical .Probabilities.Finance.Actuarial Sciences.Business Mathematics.Econometrics.Quantitative Finance.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Finance, general.650/.01/513Embrechts Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut28027Klüppelberg Claudiaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMikosch Thomasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910480656103321Modelling extremal events197666UNINA
