This chapter provides a hands-on approach to the application of extreme value theory (EVT) to fitting severity distributions for operational risk. The author`s perspective is partly biased, favouring block maxima over peaks over threshold and probability weighted moments over maximum likelihood, but reasons are given for the author`s preferences. ... click here for more details.
One limitation of the parametric VaR method and Monte Carlo simulation VaR method is the assumption that market returns are normally distributed. Even the historical simulation VaR method often fails to capture extreme events because of insufficient data. Extreme value theory models extreme events using the generalized Pareto ... click here for more details.
Extreme value theory (EVT) is an important concept for financial risk management, as it attempts to define and model the tail of return distributions. This chapter explains two EVT approaches, namely the block maxima approach and the peaks-over-threshold approach with a good balance between mathematical definition and intuitive explanation ... click here for more details.

The intended audience for this chapter includes risk managers seeking to improve methods for determining the likelihood of extreme price changes and researchers seeking insight to the phenomena that affect extreme outcomes. In this chapter conditional value at risk implies modeling extreme changes with additional explanatory variables. The ... click here for more details.
This chapter overviews to the mathetical concepts underlying frequency models. Starting with distribution functions, the chapter then shows how to apply the chi-squared test using several operational risk examples. This chapter is intended for those who are familiar with probability and statistics and comfortable with standard notation. It ... click here for more details.
*** Excerpt from book ***
This chapter provides an overview of EV theory, and of how it can be used to estimate measures of financial risk. As with earlier chapters, we will focus mainly on the VaR (and to a lesser extent, the ES) to keep the discussion brief, but the ... click here for more details.
