In a quantitative model with uncertain inputs, the uncertainty of the output can be summarized by a risk measure. We propose a sensitivity analysis method based on derivatives of the output risk measure, in the direction of model inputs. This produces a global sensitivity measure, explicitly...

In risk analysis, sensitivity measures quantify the extent to which the probability distribution of a model output is affected by changes (stresses) in individual random input factors. For input factors that are statistically dependent, we argue that a stress on one input should also precipitate...

The notion of residual estimation risk is introduced in order to study the impact of parameter uncertainty on capital adequacy, for a given risk measure and capital estimation procedure. Residual estimation risk is derived by applying the risk measure on a portfolio consisting of a random loss...

We introduce an approach to sensitivity analysis of quantitative risk models, for the purpose of identifying the most influential inputs. The proposed approach relies on a change of measure derived by minimising the $\chi^2$-divergence, subject to a constraint (`stress') on the expectation of a...
