The value at risk (VaR) is a risk measure that is widely used by financial institutions to allocate risk. VaR forecast estimation involves the evaluation of conditional quantiles based on the currently available information. Recent advances in VaR evaluation incorporate conditional variance into the quantile estimation, which yields the conditional autoregressive VaR (CAViaR) models. However, uncertainty with regard to model selection in CAViaR model estimators raises the issue of identifying the better quantile predictor via averaging. In this study, we propose a quasi-Bayesian model averaging method that generates combinations of conditional VaR estimators based on single CAViaR models. This approach provides us a basis for comparing single CAViaR models against averaged ones for their ability to forecast VaR. We illustrate this method using simulated and financial daily return data series. The results demonstrate significant findings with regard to the use of averaged conditional VaR estimates when forecasting quantile risk. 相似文献

Bayesian methods have proved effective for quantile estimation, including for financial Value-at-Risk forecasting. Expected shortfall (ES) is a competing tail risk measure, favoured by the Basel Committee, that can be semi-parametrically estimated via asymmetric least squares. An asymmetric Gaussian density is proposed, allowing a likelihood to be developed, that facilitates both pseudo-maximum likelihood and Bayesian semi-parametric estimation, and leads to forecasts of quantiles, expectiles and ES. Further, the conditional autoregressive expectile class of model is generalised to two fully nonlinear families. Adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling schemes are developed for the Bayesian estimation. The proposed models are favoured in an empirical study forecasting eight financial return series: evidence of more accurate ES forecasting, compared to a range of competing methods, is found, while Bayesian estimated models tend to be more accurate. However, during a financial crisis period most models perform badly, while two existing models perform best. 相似文献

In conditional logspline modelling, the logarithm of the conditional density function, log f(y|x), is modelled by using polynomial splines and their tensor products. The parameters of the model (coefficients of the spline functions) are estimated by maximizing the conditional log-likelihood function. The resulting estimate is a density function (positive and integrating to one) and is twice continuously differentiable. The estimate is used further to obtain estimates of regression and quantile functions in a natural way. An automatic procedure for selecting the number of knots and knot locations based on minimizing a variant of the AIC is developed. An example with real data is given. Finally, extensions and further applications of conditional logspline models are discussed. 相似文献

Value at risk (VaR) is the standard measure of market risk used by financial institutions. Interpreting the VaR as the quantile of future portfolio values conditional on current information, the conditional autoregressive value at risk (CAViaR) model specifies the evolution of the quantile over time using an autoregressive process and estimates the parameters with regression quantiles. Utilizing the criterion that each period the probability of exceeding the VaR must be independent of all the past information, we introduce a new test of model adequacy, the dynamic quantile test. Applications to real data provide empirical support to this methodology. 相似文献

Many problems of practical interest can be formulated as the nonparametric estimation of a certain function such as a regression function, logistic or other generalized regression function, density function, conditional density function, hazard function, or conditional hazard function. Extended linear modeling provides a convenient theoretical framework for using polynomial splines and their selected tensor products in such function estimation problems and especially for obtaining rates of convergence of the resulting estimates in a unified manner. For a long time the theoretical results were restricted to fixed knot splines and to log-likelihood functions that were twice continuously differentiable. Recently, Stone and Huang extended the theory to handle free knot splines. In the present paper, the theory is further extended to handle contexts in which the log-likelihood function may not be differentiable. Specifically, we establish rates of convergence for estimation based on free knot splines in the context of nonparametric regression corresponding to M-estimates, which includes least absolute deviations (LAD) regression, quantile regression, and robust regression as special cases. 相似文献

The use of GARCH models in VaR estimation 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

We evaluate the performance of an extensive family of ARCH models in modeling the daily Value-at-Risk (VaR) of perfectly diversified portfolios in five stock indices, using a number of distributional assumptions and sample sizes. We find, first, that leptokurtic distributions are able to produce better one-step-ahead VaR forecasts; second, the choice of sample size is important for the accuracy of the forecast, whereas the specification of the conditional mean is indifferent. Finally, the ARCH structure producing the most accurate forecasts is different for every portfolio and specific to each equity index. 相似文献

Conventional multiclass conditional probability estimation methods, such as Fisher's discriminate analysis and logistic regression, often require restrictive distributional model assumption. In this paper, a model-free estimation method is proposed to estimate multiclass conditional probability through a series of conditional quantile regression functions. Specifically, the conditional class probability is formulated as a difference of corresponding cumulative distribution functions, where the cumulative distribution functions can be converted from the estimated conditional quantile regression functions. The proposed estimation method is also efficient as its computation cost does not increase exponentially with the number of classes. The theoretical and numerical studies demonstrate that the proposed estimation method is highly competitive against the existing competitors, especially when the number of classes is relatively large. 相似文献

We propose bootstrap prediction intervals for an observation h periods into the future and its conditional mean. We assume that these forecasts are made using a set of factors extracted from a large panel of variables. Because we treat these factors as latent, our forecasts depend both on estimated factors and estimated regression coefficients. Under regularity conditions, asymptotic intervals have been shown to be valid under Gaussianity of the innovations. The bootstrap allows us to relax this assumption and to construct valid prediction intervals under more general conditions. Moreover, even under Gaussianity, the bootstrap leads to more accurate intervals in cases where the cross-sectional dimension is relatively small as it reduces the bias of the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator. 相似文献

In this paper, we are interested in the joint distribution of two order statistics from overlapping samples. We give an explicit formula for the distribution of such a pair of random variables under the assumption that the parent distribution is absolutely continuous. We are also interested in the question to what extent conditional expectation of one of such order statistic given another determines the parent distribution. In particular, we provide a new characterization by linearity of regression of an order statistic from the extended sample given the one from the original sample, special case of which solves a problem explicitly stated in the literature. It appears that to describe the correct parent distribution it is convenient to use quantile density functions. In several other cases of regressions of order statistics we provide new results regarding uniqueness of the distribution in the sample. 相似文献

Quantile regression is a very important statistical tool for predictive modelling and risk assessment. For many applications, conditional quantile at different levels are estimated separately. Consequently the monotonicity of conditional quantiles can be violated when quantile regression curves cross each other. In this paper, we propose a new Bayesian multiple quantile regression based on heavy tailed distribution for non-crossing. We consider a linear quantile regression model for simultaneous Bayesian estimation of multiple quantiles based on a regularly varying assumptions. The numerical and competitive performance of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation. 相似文献

In this paper the class of Bilinear GARCH (BL-GARCH) models is proposed. BL-GARCH models allow to capture asymmetries in the
conditional variance of financial and economic time series by means of interactions between past shocks and volatilities.
The availability of likelihood based inference is an attractive feature of BL-GARCH models. Under the assumption of conditional
normality, the log-likelihood function can be maximized by means of an EM type algorithm. The main reason for using the EM
algorithm is that it allows to obtain parameter estimates which naturally guarantee the positive definiteness of the conditional
variance with no need for additional parameter constraints. We also derive a robust LM test statistic which can be used for
model identification. Finally, the effectiveness of BL-GARCH models in capturing asymmetric volatility patterns in financial
time series is assessed by means of an application to a time series of daily returns on the NASDAQ Composite stock market
index. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a new generalized alpha-skew-T (GAST) distribution for generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models in modelling daily Value-at-Risk (VaR). Some mathematical properties of the proposed distribution are derived including density function, moments and stochastic representation. The maximum likelihood estimation method is discussed to estimate parameters via a simulation study. Then, the real data application on S&P-500 index is performed to investigate the performance of GARCH models specified under GAST innovation distribution with respect to normal, Student's-t and Skew-T models in terms of the VaR accuracy. Backtesting methodology is used to compare the out-of-sample performance of the VaR models. The results show that GARCH models with GAST innovation distribution outperforms among others and generates the most conservative VaR forecasts for all confidence levels and for both long and short positions. 相似文献

We develop second order asymptotic results for likelihood-based inference in Gaussian non-linear regression models. We provide an approximation to the conditional density of the maximum likelihood estimator given an approximate ancillary statistic (the affine ancillary). From this approximation, we derive a statistic to test an hypothesis on one component of the parameter. This test statistic is an adjustment of the signed log-likelihood ratio statistic. The distributional approximations (for the maximum likelihood estimator and for the test statistic) are of second order in large deviation regions. 相似文献

CORRECTED SCORE FUNCTIONS IN CLASSICAL ERROR-IN-VARIABLES AND INCIDENTAL PARAMETER MODELS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Nakamura (1990) introduced an approach to estimation in measurement error models based on a corrected score function, and claimed that the estimators obtained are consistent for functional models. Proof of the claim essentially assumed the existence of a corrected log-likelihood for which differentiation with respect to model parameters can be interchanged with conditional expectation taken with respect to the measurement error distributions, given the response variables and true covariates. This paper deals with simple yet practical models for which the above assumption is false, i.e. a corrected score function for the model may not be obtained through differentiating a corrected log-likelihood although it exists. Alternative regularity conditions with no reference to log-likelihood are given, under which the corrected score functions yield consistent and asymptotically normal estimators. Application to functional comparative calibration yields interesting results. 相似文献

The asymmetric Laplace likelihood naturally arises in the estimation of conditional quantiles of a response variable given covariates. The estimation of its parameters entails unconstrained maximization of a concave and non-differentiable function over the real space. In this note, we describe a maximization algorithm based on the gradient of the log-likelihood that generates a finite sequence of parameter values along which the likelihood increases. The algorithm can be applied to the estimation of mixed-effects quantile regression, Laplace regression with censored data, and other models based on Laplace likelihood. In a simulation study and in a number of real-data applications, the proposed algorithm has shown notable computational speed. 相似文献

Quantile regression methods have been widely used in many research areas in recent years. However conventional estimation methods for quantile regression models do not guarantee that the estimated quantile curves will be non‐crossing. While there are various methods in the literature to deal with this problem, many of these methods force the model parameters to lie within a subset of the parameter space in order for the required monotonicity to be satisfied. Note that different methods may use different subspaces of the space of model parameters. This paper establishes a relationship between the monotonicity of the estimated conditional quantiles and the comonotonicity of the model parameters. We develope a novel quasi‐Bayesian method for parameter estimation which can be used to deal with both time series and independent statistical data. Simulation studies and an application to real financial returns show that the proposed method has the potential to be very useful in practice. 相似文献

在险价值VaR是一种非常重要的金融风险度量方法,近期也有很多关于动态VaR以及条件VaR (CVaR) 等方面的研究。根据金融资产的收益率具有重尾特征这一事实,本文假定金融资产收益率服从重尾分布,并假定重尾分布的尾部指数随着收益率发生变化。本文基于尾部指数回归模型对重尾分布的尾部指数进行估计,进而得到收益率尾部数据所服从的条件分布,并首次运用该方法对条件VaR进行估计。本文对沪深300指数进行了实证研究,得到CVaR的估计,并对估计得到的CVaR的预测效果作出检验,并与传统VaR估计方法进行了对比,实证结果发现本文的方法的预测效果更好。 相似文献
