Nonparametric estimation of extreme risks from heavy-tailed distributions

Résumé

Value-at-risk, conditional tail expectation [1], conditional value-at-risk [4] and conditional tail variance [5] are classical risk measures. For instance, the value-at-risk is de ned as the upper alpha- quantile of the loss distribution where alpha is the confi dence level. In this communication, we propose nonparametric estimators of these risk measures for extreme losses, i.e. when alpha converges to0 and in the case of heavy-tailed distributions depending on covariates. Let us note that the presence of covariates in extreme value theory has already been investigated for instance in [2, 3]. The asymptotic distribution of the estimators is established and their fi nite sample behavior is illustrated both on simulated data and on a real data set of daily rainfalls in the Cevennes-Vivarais region (France).
