Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the extremal properties of integer-valued moving average sequences obtained as discrete analogues of conventional moving averages replacing scalar multiplication by binomial thinning. In particular, we consider the case in which the scalar coefficients are replaced by random coefficients since in real applications the thinning probabilities may depend on several factors changing in time. Furthermore, the extremal behavior of periodic integer-valued moving average sequences is also considered. In this case, we find that, when assessing their clustering tendency of high-threshold exceedances, the extremal index is the same as for the stationary case.
