getCVaR: Risk Measures for Scale-Shape Families

Description

Functions to compute Value-at-Risk (VaR), Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) and Expected Loss (EL) at data from scale-shape families.

Usage

getVaR(data, model, level, rob=TRUE)
getCVaR(data, model, level, rob=TRUE)
getEL(data, model, N0, rob=TRUE)
# S3 method for riskMeasure
print(x, level=NULL, ...)

Arguments

data

data at which to compute the risk measure.

model

an object of class "L2ScaleShapeFamily". The parametric family at which to evaluate the risk measure.

level

real: probability needed for VaR and CVaR.

N0

real: expected frequency for expected loss.

rob

logical; if TRUE (default) the RMXE-parametric estimator is used; otherwise the MLE.

x

an object of (S3-)class "riskmeasure".

...

further arguments for print.

Value

The risk measures getVaR, getCVaR, getEL return an (S3) object of class "riskMeasure", i.e., a numeric vector of length 2 with components "Risk" and "varofRisk" containing the respective risk measure and a corresponding (asymptotic) standard error for the risk measure. To the return class "riskMeasure", there is a particular print-method; if the corresponding argument level is NULL (default) the corresponding standard error is printed together with the risk measure; otherwise a corresponding CLT-based confidence interval for the risk meausre is produced.
