Abstract

In this paper, the joint asymptotics of normalized maxima and minima for a triangular array of bivariate Gaussian random vectors are considered. Under the Hüsler-Reiss condition, the limiting distribution of maxima and minima is derived. Furthermore, the second-order expansions of joint distributions of maxima and minima are established under the second-order Hüsler-Reiss condition.
