21 Environmental EXTREMES THROUGH COPULAS (REVIEW) COPULA Roughly speaking, a n-copula C is a particular type of distribution with domain in the unit hyper-cube and uniform margins. Sklar s Theorem Let F be a n-dimensional distribution function with marginals F 1,, F n. Then there exists a n-copula C such that for all x R n, F(x 1,, x n ) = C(F 1 (x 1 ),, F n (x n )). If F 1,..., F n are continuous, then C is unique. Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

22 Environmental {v [0, 1] n : C(v) = α} Copula Quantile Procedure Let C be the n copula of X and F i, i = 1,..., d its margins. Then for 0 < α < 1 the corresponding α quantile hyper-curve, upper and lower level sets are defined as: {x R n such that x i = F 1 X i (v i ); i = 1,..., n; v [0, 1] n : C(v) = α}, {x R n such that x i = F 1 X i (v i ); i = 1,..., n; v [0, 1] n : C(v) < α}, {x R n such that x i = F 1 X i (v i ); i = 1,..., n; v [0, 1] n : C(v) > α}.

39 VALUE AT RISK (VaR) Financial The VaR has became in a benchmark for risk management. The VaR has been criticized by Artzner et al. (1999) since it does not encourage diversification. But defended by Heyde et al. (2009) for its robustness and recently by Daníelsson et al. (2013) for its tail subadditivity. Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

50 Financial MVAR PROPERTIES Non-Negative Loading: If λ > 0, E[X] u VaR u α(x), where the order is given by PREORDER (LANIADO ET AL. (2010)) x is said to be less than y if: x u y C u x Cu y R u x R u y. Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

51 Financial MVAR PROPERTIES Quasi-Odd Measure: VaR u α( X) = VaR u α (X). Positive Homogeneity and Translation Invariance: Given c R + and b R n, then VaR u α(cx+b) = cvar u α(x)+b. Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

52 Financial MVAR PROPERTIES Orthogonal Quasi-Invariance: Let w and Q be an unit vector and a particular orthogonal matrix obtained by a QR decomposition such that Qu = w. Then, VaR w α (QX) = QVaRu α (X). Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

53 Financial MVAR PROPERTIES Consistency: Let X and Y be random vectors such that E[Y] = cu+e[x], for c > 0 and X Eu Y. Then: VaR u α (X) u VaR u α (Y), where the stochastic order is defined by STOCHASTIC EXTREMALITY ORDER (LANIADO ET AL.

Then, for all α (0, 1): VaR 1 α (X i ) [VaR e α (X)] i, for all i = 1,..., n. Moreover, if its distribution function F is quasi-concave, then, for all α (0, 1), [ VaR e 1 α (X)] i VaR 1 α(x i ), for all i = 1,..., n. Torres Díaz, Raúl A. Directional Extreme Value Analysis December / 57

60 Financial RELATION BETWEEN THE MARGINAL VaR AND THE MVaR RESULT Let X be a random vector and u a direction. If the survival function of R u X is quasi-concave. Then, for all 0 α 1, VaR 1 α ([R u X] i ) [R u VaR u α (X)] i, for all i = 1,..., n. And if R u X has a quasi-concavity cumulative distribution, we have that [ Ru VaR u 1 α (X)] i VaR 1 α([r u X] i ), for all i = 1,..., n. Torres Díaz, Raúl A.
