In this paper, we prove an exponential rate of convergence result for a common estimator of conditional value-at-risk for bounded random variables. The bound on optimistic deviations is tighter while the bound on pessimistic deviations is more general and applies to a broader class of convex risk me

In this paper, we present a deviation inequality for a common estimator of the conditional value-at-risk for bounded random variables. The result improves a deviation inequality which is obtained by Brown [D.B. Brown, Large deviations bounds for estimating conditional value-at-risk, Operations Resea
## ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the performance of a class of Mβestimators for both symmetric and asymmetric conditional heteroscedastic models in the prediction of valueβatβrisk. The class of estimators includes the least absolute deviation (LAD), Huber's, Cauchy and Bβestimator, as well
## ABSTRACT We propose a method approach. We use six international stock price indices and three hypothetical portfolios formed by these indices. The sample was observed daily from 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2006. Confirmed by the failure rates and backtesting developed by Kupiec (Technique for
The Weibull distribution is one of the most important distributions that is utilized as a probability model for loss amounts in connection with actuarial and financial risk management problems. This paper considers the Weibull distribution and its quantiles in the context of estimation of a risk mea
