| contents | We introduce and study Multi-Quantile estimators for the parameters $( ξ, σ, μ)$ of Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions to provide a robust approach to extreme value modeling. Unlike classical estimators, such as the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) estimator and the Probability Weighted Moments (PWM) estimator, which impose strict constraints on the shape parameter $ξ$, our estimators are always asymptotically normal and consistent across all values of the GEV parameters. The asymptotic variances of our estimators decrease with the number of quantiles increasing and can approach the Cramér-Rao lower bound very closely whenever it exists. Our Multi-Quantile Estimators thus offer a more flexible and efficient alternative for practical applications. We also discuss how they can be implemented in the context of Block Maxima method. |
