a series representing the actual value of the series in the out of sample period.
the forecast values of the series at the quantile given by alpha (the forecast value at risk).
the probability integral transformed series (pit).
the quantile level used to calculate the forecast value at risk.
the numbers of lags to use for the conditional shortfall test.
whether to use bootstrap simulation for estimating the p-values of the conditional shortfall test.
the bootstrap replications used to calculate the p-value.
