    Abstract

    This paper is devoted to the nonparametric analysis of heavy-tailed bivariate data. The TCPflow sizes and durations measured from the mobile network of the Finnish operator Elisa are investigated. The rough methods to detect heaviness of tails from [4] and [8] are applied and it is shown that both flow sizes and durations are heavy-tailed. An extreme value bivariate distribution of two random variables, TCP flow sizes and durations, is estimated by nonparametric methods. For this purpose, the Pickands dependence function is estimated from the empirical sample of the observed pairs. Furthermore, the respective bivariate quantile plot is constructed.
