High quantile estimation is of importance in risk management. For a heavy-tailed distribution, estimating a high quantile is done via estimating the tail index. Reducing the bias in a tail index estimator can be achieved by using either the same order or a larger order of number of the upper order statistics in comparison with the theoretical optimal one in the classical tail index estimator. For the second approach, one can either estimate all parameters simultaneously or estimate the first and second order parameters separately. Recently, the first method and the second method via external estimators for the second order parameter have been applied to reduce the bias in high quantile estimation. Theoretically, the second method obviously gives rise to a smaller order of asymptotic mean squared error than the first one. In this paper we study the second method with simultaneous estimation of all parameters for reducing bias in high quantile estimation.
