摘要	Generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), an asymmetrical distribution, primarily models exceedances over a high threshold in many applications. Within the peaks-over-threshold (POT) framework, we consider a new GPD parameter estimation method to estimate a common tail risk measure, the value at risk (VaR). The proposed method is more suitable for the POT framework and makes full use of data information. Specifically, our estimation method builds upon the generalized probability weighted moments method and integrates it with the nonlinear weighted least squares method. We use exceedances for the GPD, minimizing the sum of squared differences between the sample and population moments of a function of GPD random variables. At the same time, the proposed estimator uses three iterations and assigns weight to further improving the estimated performance. Under Monte Carlo simulations and with a real heavy-tailed dataset, the simulation results show the advantage of the newly proposed estimator, particularly when VaRs are at high confidence levels. In addition, by simulating other heavy-tailed distributions, our method still exhibits good performance in estimating misjudgment distributions.
