Estimates the VaR of a portfolio assuming extreme losses are Frechet distributed, for specified range of confidence level and a given holding period.
1 | FrechetVaR(mu, sigma, tail.index, n, cl, hp)
|
mu |
Location parameter for daily L/P |
sigma |
Scale parameter for daily L/P |
tail.index |
Tail index |
n |
Block size from which maxima are drawn |
cl |
Confidence level |
hp |
Holding period |
Note that the long-right-hand tail is fitted to losses, not profits.
Value at Risk. If cl and hp are scalars, it returns scalar VaR. If cl is vector and hp is a scalar, or viceversa, returns vector of VaRs. If both cl and hp are vectors, returns a matrix of VaRs.
