Large Deviations of Factor Models with Regularly-Varying Tails: Asymptotics and Efficient Estimation
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We analyze the extit{Large Deviation Probability (LDP)} of linear factor models generated from non-identically distributed components with extit{regularly-varying} tails, a large subclass of heavy tailed distributions. An efficient sampling method for LDP estimation of this class is introduced and theoretically shown to exponentially outperform the crude Monte-Carlo estimator, in terms of the coverage probability and the confidence interval's length. The theoretical results are empirically validated through stochastic simulations on independent non-identically Pareto distributed factors. The proposed estimator is available as part of a more comprehensive exttt{Betta} package.
