Abstract
The importance of the bandwidth selection has been more emphasized than the kernel function selection for nonparametric frequency analysis since the interpolation is more reliable than the extrapolation method. However, when the extrapolation method is being applied(i.e. recurrence interval more than the length of data or extreme probabilities such as $200{\sim}500$ years), the selection of the kernel function is as important as the selection of the bandwidth. So far, the existing kernel functions have difficulties for extreme value estimations because the values extrapolated by kernel functions are either too small or too big. This paper suggests a Modified Cauchy kernel function that is suitable for both interpolation and extrapolation as an improvement.
