Multivariate return period calculation via survival functions

چکیده
[1] The concept of return period is fundamental for the design and the assessment of many engineering works. In a multivariate framework, several approaches are available to its definition, each one yielding different solutions. In this paper, we outline a theoretical framework for the calculation of return periods in a multidimensional environment, based on survival copulas and the corresponding survival Kendall’s measures. The present approach solves the problems raised in previous publications concerning the coherent foundation of the notion of return period in a multivariate setting. As an illustration, a practical hydrological application is presented.

The pre...
متن کاملModelling asset return using multivariate asymmetric mixture models with applications to estimation of Value-at-Risk
Value-at-Risk (VaR) is a widely used statistical measure in financial risk management for quantifying the level of risk associated with a specific investment portfolio. It is well-known that historical return data exhibit non-normal features, such as heavy tails and skewness. Current analytical (parameteric) calculation of VaR typically assumes the distribution of the portfolio return to be a n...
