问题如下:
A risk analyst is comparing the use of parametric and non-parametric approaches for calculating VaR and is concerned about some of the characteristics present in the loss data. Which of the following distribution characteristics would make parametric approaches the favored method to use?
选项:
A. Skewness in the distribution
B. Fat tails in the distribution
C. Scarcity of high magnitude loss events
D. Heteroskedasticity in the distribution
解释:
C is correct.
考点non-parametric method
解析Non-parametric approaches can accommodate fat tails, skewness, and any other non-normal features that can cause problems for parametric approaches. However, if the data period that is used in estimation includes few losses or losses with low magnitude, non-parametric methods will often produce risk measures that are too low. Hence parametric methods would be more appropriate in those situations.
