Bias-Corrected Peaks-Over-Threshold Estimation of the CVaR

1 code implementation8 Mar 2021 Dylan Troop, Frédéric Godin, Jia Yuan Yu

To mitigate this problem, the CVaR can be estimated by extrapolating above a lower threshold than the VaR using a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), which is often referred to as the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach.

1 code implementation3 Dec 2019 Dylan Troop, Frédéric Godin, Jia Yuan Yu

To mitigate this problem, extreme value theory can be used to derive an estimator for the CVaR that uses extrapolation beyond available samples.
