Abstract:
      The moment estimator has been widely used in extreme value theory in order to estimate the extreme value index, however it is not location invariant. In this paper, based on the moment-type estimator, we propose a new location invariant moment-type estimator, and discuss its asymptotic normality under the second order regular variation. Finally, a simulation is presented to compare this new estimator with another location invariant moment-type estimator $\hat{\gamma}_{n}^{M}(k_{0},k)$ proposed by Ling, which indicates that the new estimator has good performances.
