Bullet points include: E.g. Consider a direct fit of a Generalised Pareto distribution. Assuming limiting distribution is the Fréchet distribution (so, exhibits fat tails). Thus use approximation: Problem of estimating F and its (tail) quantiles then reduces to problem of estimating xi and beta for the approximating generalised Pareto distribution. Can be done using maximum likelihood (ML) estimation
