We show that, given a suitable acceptance set, any positive homogeneous deviation measure can be accommodated in our framework. In doing so, we provide a new interpretation for such measures, namely, that they quantify how much one must shrink or deleverage a financial position for it to become acceptable. In particular, the Minkowski Deviation of a set which is convex, translation insensitive, and radially bounded at non-constants, is a generalized deviation measure in the sense of [R. T. Rockafellar, S. Uryasev and M. Zabarankin, Generalized deviations in risk analysis, Finance Stoch. 10 2006, 1, 51–74]. Furthermore, we explore the converse relations from properties of a Minkowski Deviation to its sub-level sets, introducing the notion of acceptance sets for deviations. Hence, we fill a gap existing in the literature, namely the lack of a well-defined concept of acceptance sets for deviation measures. Dual characterizations in terms of polar sets and support functionals are provided.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47013827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under certain conditions on the growth rate of subgroups, the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators are investigated. Furthermore, we construct a new method to test PHT based on the empirical likelihood method for the median in order to avoid any prior estimate of the variance structure for the proposed estimator, as it is difficult to estimate and often causes much inaccuracy. Numerical simulations and real-data analysis are designed to show the present estimator’s performance. The results confirm that the new put-forward estimator is quite robust with respect to outliers.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49155229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These tests, though exhibiting outstanding power properties, have not gained recognition in the industry. A potential reason is the absence of ready-to-use statistical distributions. To remedy this, we inquire into the limiting properties of these tests and derive relevant asymptotic distributions. We also provide a generalized geometric-VaR test and give its distribution. Through the Monte Carlo study, we show the accuracy of our asymptotic procedures in finite samples, and we find these procedures to be relevant for the current Basel standards. Our theoretical results are illustrated by the empirical study that includes data from the current COVID-19 crisis.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43536156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the parameters are in general non-identifiable, and hence the dimension of two similar models may be very different. This paper proposes a new method for selecting the dimension of phase-type distributions via penalisation of the likelihood function. The penalties are in terms of the Green matrix, from which it is possible to extract the contributions of each state to the overall mean. Since representations with higher dimensions are penalised, a parsimony effect is obtained. We perform a numerical study with randomly generated phase-type samples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure, and also apply the technique to the absolute log-returns of EURO STOXX 50 and Bitcoin prices.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42230889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the estimation of multi-component stress-strength reliability for the Weibull distribution under the progressive Type-II censored samples is studied. We assume that both stress and strength are two independent Weibull distributions with different parameters. First, assuming the same shape parameter, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), different approximations of Bayes estimators (Lindley’s approximation and Markov chain Monte Carlo method) and different confidence intervals (asymptotic and highest posterior density) are obtained. In the case when the shape parameter is known, the MLE, uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE), exact Bayes estimator and different confidence intervals (asymptotic and highest posterior density) are considered. Finally, in the general case, the statistical inferences on multi-component stress-strength reliability are derived. To compare the performances of different methods, Monte Carlo simulations are performed. Moreover, one data set for illustrative purposes is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46185321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
