We explain this positive dependence in terms of economic cycles due ...

This paper applies the extreme value theory to the Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) . In particular, the choice of the standard multiple is detailed according to the statistical estimation of the behaviour of extreme variations in rates of assets returns. Moreover, we introduce the distributions of interarrival times of these extreme movements and show their impact on the portfoli...

We define a new class of positive and Lebesgue measurable functions in termsof their asymptotic behavior, which includes the class of regularly varying functions.We also characterize it by transformations, corresponding to generalized momentswhen these functions are random variables. We study the properties of this new classand discuss their applications to Extreme Value The...

In this paper, we analyzed the streamflow droughts based on the Percent of Normal Index (PNI) and clustering approaches in the Kurdistan Province, Iran, over the 1981-2010. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was considered for streamflow time series and the results of K-S test indicated that streamflow time series did follow the normal distribution at the 0.05 significance level. Generally, the ...
