摘要：Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is an important tool to predict efficient gains and losses. Its main areas of analyses are economic and environmental. Initially, for that form of event, it was developed the use of patterns of parametric distribution such as Normal and Gamma. However, economic and environmental data presents, in most cases, a heavy-tailed distribution, in contrast to those distributions. Thus, it was faced a great difficult to frame extreme events. Furthermore, it was almost impossible to use conventional models, making predictions about non-observed events, which exceed the maximum of observations. In some situations EVT is used to analyse only the maximum of some dataset, which provide few observations, and in those cases it is more effective to use the r largest-order statistics. This paper aims to propose Bayesian estimators' for parameters of the r largest-order statistics. During the research, it was used Monte Carlo simulation to analyze the data, and it was observed some properties of those estimators, such as mean, variance, bias and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The estimation of the parameters provided inference for its parameters and return levels. This paper also shows a procedure to the choice of the r-optimal to the r largest-order statistics, based on the Bayesian approach applying Markov chains Monte Carlo (MCMC). Simulation results reveal that the Bayesian approach has a similar performance to the Maximum Likelihood Estimation, and the applications were developed using the Bayesian approach and showed a gain in accurary compared with otherestimators.
