Endogenizing Model Risk to Quantile Estimates
Alexander, Carol; Sarabia, Jose Maria - Henley Business School, University of Reading - 2010
We quantify and endogenize the model risk associated with quantile estimates using a maximum entropy distribution (MED) as benchmark. Moment-based MEDs cannot have heavy tails, however generalized beta generated distributions have attractive properties for popular applications of quantiles....
