Truncated estimation of ratio statistics with application to heavy tail distributions

The problem of estimation of the heavy tail index is revisited from the point of view of truncated estimation. A class of novel estimators is introduced having guaranteed accuracy based on a sample of fixed size. The performance of these estimators is quantified both theoretically and in simulations...
