Abstract

We extend some results of the extreme-value theory of stationary random sequences to non-stationary random sequences. The extremal index, defined in the stationary case, plays a similar role in the extended case. The details show that this index describes not only the behaviour of exceedances above a high level but also above a non-constant high boundary.
