The stopped clock model

The extreme values theory presents specific tools for modeling and predicting extreme phenomena. In particular, risk assessment is often analyzed through measures for tail dependence and high values clustering. Despite technological advances allowing an increasingly larger and more efficient data collection, there are sometimes failures in the records, which causes difficulties in statistical inference, especially in the tail where data are scarcer. In this article we present a model with a simple and intuitive failures scheme, where each record failure is replaced by the last record available. We will study its extremal behavior with regard to local dependence and high values clustering, as well as the temporal dependence on the tail.
