  3. 2. Improving Machinery Safety : Modelling data to explain machine stops and developing a strategy on how to reduce them

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Kristina Leijonborg; Sandra Hammarsten; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

  6. 5. Applying Peaks-Over-Threshold for Increasing the Speed of Convergence of a Monte Carlo Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Eric Jakobsson; Thor Åhlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks- Over-Threshold; Life Insurances; Generalized Pareto Distribution; Extreme-Value-Theory; Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks-Over-Threshold; Livförsäkringar; Generalized Pareto Fördelning; Extremvärdesteori;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates applying the semiparametric method Peaks-Over-Threshold on data generated from a Monte Carlo simulation when estimating the financial risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. The goal is to achieve a faster convergence than a Monte Carlo simulation when assessing extreme events that symbolise the worst outcomes of a financial portfolio. READ MORE
