We propose a novel generalization to the Student-t Probabilistic Principal Component methodology which: (1) accounts for an asymmetric distribution of the observation data; (2) is a framework for grouped and generalized multiple-degree-of-freedom structures, which provides a more flexible...

This survey represents a comprehensive elicitation of perspectives on operational risk (OpRisk) modelling and practice, obtained from practitioners in a wide range of countries and sectors. The survey was developed and executed by two leading organizations in operational risk in the financial...

In this manuscript we explore a range of perspectives being adopted by industry and regulators in order to classify cyber crime or cyber risk loss processes. The purposes of this is to better understand and discuss the emerging perspectives on this class of risk process in order to inform...

Real-time urban climate monitoring provides useful information that can be utilized to help monitor and adapt to extreme events, including urban heatwaves. Typical approaches to the monitoring of climate data include the acquisition of weather station monitoring and also remote sensing via...

The management of operational risk in the banking industry has undergone significant changes over the last decade due to substantial changes in operational risk environment. Globalization, deregulation, the use of complex financial products and changes in information technology have resulted...

Under the Basel II standards, the Operational Risk (OpRisk) advanced measurement approach is not prescriptive regarding the class of statistical model utilised to undertake capital estimation. It has however become well accepted to utlise a Loss Distributional Approach (LDA) paradigm to model...

Under the Basel II standards, the Operational Risk (OpRisk) advanced measurement approach allows a provision for reduction of capital as a result of insurance mitigation of up to 20%. This paper studies different insurance policies in the context of capital reduction for a range of extreme loss...

Following the Loss Distributional Approach (LDA), this article develops two procedures for simulation of an annual loss distribution for modeling of Operational Risk. First, we provide an overview of the typical compound-process LDA used widely in Operational Risk modeling, before expanding upon...
