Some analytical results on bivariate stable distributions with an application in operational risk
推导了双变量稳定分布的拉普拉斯变换,并提出用近似最大似然法估计参数,通过模拟和操作损失数据验证了模型的有效性。
The multivariate stable distributions are widely applicable as they can accommodate both skewness and heavy tails. Although one-dimensional stable distributions are well known, there are many open questions in the multivariate regime, since the tractability of the multivariate Gaussian universe, does not extend to non-Gaussian multivariate stable distributions. In this work, we provide the Laplace transform of bivariate stable distributions and its certain cut in the first quadrant. Given the lack of a closed-form likelihood function, we propose to estimate the parameters by means of Approximate Maximum Likelihood, a simulation-based method with desirable asymptotic properties. Simulation experiments and an application to truncated operational losses illustrate the applicability of the model.
