We give a new sufficient condition for a continuous distribution to be completely mixable, and we use this condition to show that the worst-possible value-at-risk for the sum of d inhomogeneous risks is equivalent to the worst-possible expected shortfall under the same marginal assumptions, in...

Recent crises in the financial industry have shown weaknesses in the modeling of Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs). Relatively minor model changes may lead to substantial changes in the RWA numbers. Similar problems are encountered in the Value-at-Risk (VaR)-aggregation of risks. In this article, we...

Following the results of Rüschendorf and Uckelmann (2002) [20], we introduce the completely mixable distributions on and prove that the distributions with monotone density and moderate mean are completely mixable. Using this method, we solve the minimization problem for convex functions f...

We introduce the concept of an extremely negatively dependent (END) sequence of random variables with a given common marginal distribution. An END sequence has a partial sum which, subtracted by its mean, does not diverge as the number of random variables goes to infinity. We show that an END...

For an exchangeable sequence of random variables, almost surely, the difference between the empirical and the predictive distribution functions converges to zero uniformly.

Let be a filtration, {Xn} an adapted sequence of real random variables, and {[alpha]n} a predictable sequence of non-negative random variables with [alpha]10. Set and define the random distribution functions and . Under mild assumptions on {[alpha]n}, it is shown that , a.s. on the set {Fn or Bn...

Let (omega, beta) be a measurable space, An in B a sub-sigma-field and µn a random probability measure, n = 1. In various frameworks, one looks for a probability P on B such that µn is a regular conditional distribution for P given An for all n. Conditions for such a P to exist are given. The...

Let $(S,\mathcal{B},\Gamma)$ and $(T,\mathcal{C},Q)$ be probability spaces, with $Q$ nonatomic, and $\mathcal{H}=\{H\in\mathcal{C}:Q(H)0\}$. In some economic models, the following conditional law of large numbers (LLN) is requested. There are a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{A},P)$ and a...
