Abstract:
This paper establishes the asymptotic validity for the moving block bootstrap as an approximation to the joint distribution of the sum and the maximum of a stationary sequence. An application is made to statistical inference for a positive time series where an extreme value statistic and sample mean provide the maximum likelihood estimates for the model parameters. A simulation study illustrates small sample size behavior of the bootstrap approximation.
