Popis: In this paper the asymptotic distributional behaviour is derived for a new estimator for the extreme value index γ of distribution, which is a combination of two estimators proposed by Weiss and Hill (Weiss, 1971, and Hill, 1975). For |γ|>1/2, the estimator outperforms the Moment estimator (Dekkers and al., 1989). in the sense that it has a smaller asymptotic variance than the latter; moreover, for γ>1/2 (γ
