Given an ordered sample of either exceedances or upper order statistics which is to be modeled using a GPD, this function provides Pickands' estimator of the shape parameter γ \in [-1,0]. Precisely, for k=4, …, n
\hat γ^k_{\rm{Pick}} = \frac{1}{\log 2} \log \Bigl(\frac{H^{-1}((n-r_k(H)+1)/n)-H^{-1}((n-2r_k(H) +1)/n)}{H^{-1}((n-2r_k(H) +1)/n)-H^{-1}((n-4r_k(H)+1)/n)} \Bigr)
for $H$ either the empirical or the distribution function \hat F_n based on the log–concave density estimator and
r_k(H) = \lfloor k/4 \rfloor
if H is the empirical distribution function and
r_k(H) = k / 4
if H = \hat F_n.
