Abstract:

We study the problem of extremes for univariate and bivariate geometric laws. We determine the rate of convergence of the maximum of \iid geometric random variables and bivariate vectors following the Marshall-Olkin geometric distribution to a Gumbel distribution, and propose a new discretised version as limit. We introduce marked point processes of exceedances (MPPE's) whose \iid marks are bivariate Marshall-Olkin geometric variables. We use the Stein-Chen method for Poisson process approximation to determine bounds on the error of the approximation of the law of the MPPE by that of a Poisson process.
