A subsampling approach to estimating the distribution of diverging statistics with applications to assessing nancial market risks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a subsampling estimator for the distribution of statistics diverging at either known or unknown rates when the underlying time series is strictly stationary and strong mixing. Based on our results we provide a detailed discussion how to estimate extreme order statistics with dependent data and present two applications to assessing nancial market risk. Our method performs well in estimating Value at Risk and provides a superior alternative to Hill's estimator in operationalizing Safety First portfolio selection. JEL Classi cation: C14, C49, G11

‎The goal of this study is to introduce an Asymmetric Uniform-Laplace (AUL) distribution‎. ‎We present a detailed theoretical description of this distribution‎. ‎We try to estimate the parameters of AUL distribution using the maximum likelihood method‎. ‎Since the likelihood approach results in complicated forms‎, ‎we suggest a bootstrap-based approach for es...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
متن کاملEstimating Conditional Quantiles for Financial Time Series by Bootstrapping and Subsampling Methods
Value at Risk (VaR) has become one of the most commonly used measures of risk for nancial risk management. Econometrically, a suitable conditional quantile model can provide accurate estimation for this purpose. However due to the special dependence features of nancial time series, a classical econometric methodology does not lend itself for this purpose . In this paper, the main objective is...
متن کاملEstimation of capital requirements in the Iranian banking system To deal with market and credit risks
Each financial institution faces different types of risks, with three of the most important risks in the banking system being credit, market and operational risks. In order to manage risk, sufficient capital must be allocated. One of the common ways to calculate the capital needed to deal with these risks is to calculate the capital proportional to each risk and then the algebraic sum to obtain...
متن کاملProbability and Statistics Applied to the Practice of Financial Risk Management
This work describes applications of probability and statistics in RiskMetrics TM , J P Morgan's methodology for quantifying market risk. The methodology implements an analytical approach to nancial risk in trading, arbitrage, and investment based on the statistics of market moves in equities, bonds, currencies and commodities. The public unveiling of RiskMetrics TM in October of 1994 attracted ...
