Estimation of Spectral Risk Measures

22 Dec 2019  ·  Ajay Kumar Pandey, Prashanth L. A., Sanjay P. Bhat ·

We consider the problem of estimating a spectral risk measure (SRM) from i.i.d. samples, and propose a novel method that is based on numerical integration. We show that our SRM estimate concentrates exponentially, when the underlying distribution has bounded support. Further, we also consider the case when the underlying distribution is either Gaussian or exponential, and derive a concentration bound for our estimation scheme. We validate the theoretical findings on a synthetic setup, and in a vehicular traffic routing application.
