| dc.description.abstract | The recent hype on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning has been leading to a revolution in the industries of Banking and Finance. Motivated by this revolution, this thesis develops novel statistical methodologies tailored for learning about financial risk in the Big Data era. Specifically, the methodologies proposed in this thesis build over ideas, concepts, and methods that relate to cluster analysis, copulas, and extreme value theory. I start this thesis working on the framework of extreme value theory and propose novel statistical methodologies that identify time series which resemble the most in terms of magnitude and dynamics of their extreme losses. A cluster analysis algorithm is proposed for the setup of heteroscedastic extremes as a way to learn about similarity of extremal features of time series. The proposed method pioneers the development of cluster analysis in a product space between an Euclidean space and a space of functions. In the second contribution of this thesis, I introduce a novel class of distributions—to which we refer to as diagonal distributions. Similarly to the spectral density of a bivariate extreme value distribution, the latter class consists of a mean-constrained univariate distribution function on [0, 1], which summarizes key features on the dependence structure of a random vector. Yet, despite their similarities, spectral and diagonal densities are constructed from very different principles. In particular, diagonal densities extend the concept of marginal distribution—by suitably projecting pseudo-observations on a segment line; diagonal densities also have a direct link with copulas, and their variance has connections with Spearman’s rho. Finally, I close the thesis by proposing a density ratio model for modeling extreme values of non-indentically distributed observations. The proposed model can be regarded as a proportional tails model for multisample settings. A semiparametric specification is devised to link all elements in a family of scedasis densities through a tilt from a baseline scedasis. Inference is conducted by empirical likelihood inference methods. | |
