Computing VaR and AVaR In Infinitely Divisible Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we derive closed-form solutions for the cumulative density function and the average value-at-risk for five subclasses of the infinitely divisible distributions: classical tempered stable distribution, Kim-Rachev distribution, modified tempered stable distribution, normal tempered stable distribution, and rapidly decreasing tempered stable distribution. We present empirical evidence using the daily performance of the S&P 500 for the period January 2, 1997 through December 29, 2006.

Measuring financial risk and portfolio optimization with a non-Gaussian multivariate model
In this paper, we propose a multivariate market model with returns assumed to follow a multivariate normal tempered stable distribution. This distribution, defined by a mixture of the multivariate normal distribution and the tempered stable subordinator, is consistent with two stylized facts that have been observed for asset distributions: fat-tails and an asymmetric dependence structure. Assum...
متن کاملModeling of Infinite Divisible Distributions Using Invariant and Equivariant Functions
Basu’s theorem is one of the most elegant results of classical statistics. Succinctly put, the theorem says: if T is a complete sufficient statistic for a family of probability measures, and V is an ancillary statistic, then T and V are independent. A very novel application of Basu’s theorem appears recently in proving the infinite divisibility of certain statistics. In addition ...
متن کاملInfinitely Divisible Distributions for Rectangular Free Convolution: Classification and Matricial Interpretation
In a previous paper ([B-G1]), we defined the rectangular free convolution ⊞ λ . Here, we investigate the related notion of infinite divisibility, which happens to be closely related the classical infinite divisibility: there exists a bijection between the set of classical symmetric infinitely divisible distributions and the set of ⊞ λ -infinitely divisible distributions, which preserves limit t...
متن کاملComputing VaR and AVaR of Skewed-T Distribution
We consider the skewed-T distribution defined as a normal mixture with inverse gamma distribution. Analytical formulas for its value-at-risk, VaR quantile, and average value-at-risk, AVaR conditional mean are derived. High-accuracy approximations are developed and numerically tested.
متن کاملMarkov Processes with Infinitely Divisible Limit Distributions: Some Examples
J.BSTllCT A set of examples is described which suggests that members of a certain class of Markov processes have infinitely divisible limit distributions. A counter example rilles out such a possibility and raises the question of what further restrictions are required to guarantee infinitely divisible limits. Some related examples illustrate the same occurrence of infinitely divisible limit dis...
