Abstract

In this paper we consider the estimation of the coefficient of tail dependence and of small tail probability under a bivariate randomly censoring mechanism. A new class of generalized moment estimators of the coefficient of tail dependence and the estimator of small tail probability are proposed, respectively. Under the bivariate Hall-type conditions, the asymptotic distributions of these estimators are established. Monte Carlo simulations are performed and the new estimators are applied to an insurance data-set.
