Identifying patterns in bivariate data on a scatterplot remains a ba- sic statistical problem, with special flavor when both variables are on the same footing. Ideas of double, diagonal, and polar smoothing inspired by Cleveland and McGill’s 1984 paper in the Journal of the American...

Biplots display interunit distances, as well as variances and correlations of variables of large datasets. They can be used as a tool to reveal clustering, multicollinearity, and multivariate outliers, and to guide the interpretation of principal component analyses (PCA). This article describes...

We present an analysis of VaR forecasts and P&L-series of all 13 German banks that used internal models for regulatory purposes in the year 2001. To this end, we introduce the notion of well-behaved forecast systems. Furthermore, we provide a series of statistical tools to perform our analyses....
