SISTCopula: Efficient tail-loss probability and conditional excess estimation for t-copula model

Description

Using stratified importance sampling (SIS) or naive simulation (NV) the tail-loss probabilities and conditional excess values for several threshold values are estimated for a stock portfolio. The logreturns of the stocks are assumed to follow a t-copula model with generalized hyperbolic or t marginals.

Usage

SISTCopula(n=10^5,npilot=c(10^4,2*10^4),portfobj,threshold=c(0.95,0.9),
           stratasize=c(22,22),CEopt=FALSE,beta=0.75,mintype=-1)
NVTCopula(n=10^5,  portfobj, threshold=c(0.95,0.9))
new.portfobj(nu,R,typemg="GH",parmg,c=rep(1,dim(R)[1]),w=c/sum(c))

Value

For the case that the variable threshold contains only one value a matrix containing the results for the tail-loss probability in the first row and that of the conditional excess in the second row is returned.

In the case that several threshold values are considered, a list consisting of the result matrices for tail-loss probabilities and for conditional excess and the vector of the threshold values is returned.

Arguments

n

total sample size

npilot

size of one or several pilot runs, the sum of them should be smaller than n/2

portfobj

object of portfolio parameters

threshold

one or several threshold values (they should be ordered)

stratasize

a vector of length two holding the number of strata

CEopt

TRUE ... minimize the overall error of Conditional Exess estimates, otherwise of tail-loss estimates

beta

weight of maximal threshold value used for calculating the intermediate threshold used for selecting the IS density, only used when length(threshold)>1

mintype

only used when length(threshold)>1; 0 ... minimize mean square errors, -1 ... minimize relative MSE, -2 ... minimize the maximal error, -3 minimize the maximal relative error; a positive integer j indicates that the variance of the estimate for the j-th threshold is minimized.

nu

degrees of freedom of the t-copula

R

correlation matrix of the t-copula

typemg

type of the marginal distribution, "GH" generalized hyperbolic distribution, "t" t-distribution

parmg

matrix holding in its rows the parameters of the marginal distribution; for the generalized hyperbolic distribution each row holds the parameters lambda, alpha, beta, delta and mu; for the t-distribution each row holds the parameters mu, sigma and nu (degrees of freedom).

c

scale factor vector of the portfolio

w

portfolio weights
