CTE function

Conditional Tail Expectation

Compute Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) $CTE_{1-p}$ of the fitted spliced distribution.

CTE(p, splicefit)

ES(p, splicefit)

Arguments

• p: The probability associated with the CTE (we estimate $CTE_{1-p}$).
• splicefit: A SpliceFit object, e.g. output from SpliceFitPareto, SpliceFiticPareto or SpliceFitGPD.

Details

The Conditional Tail Expectation is defined as

where $\Pi(u)=E((X-u)_+)$ is the premium of the excess-loss insurance with retention u.

If the CDF is continuous in $p$, we have $CTE_{1-p}=TVaR_{1-p}= 1/p \int_0^p VaR_{1-s} ds$ with $TVaR$ the Tail Value-at-Risk.

See Reynkens et al. (2017) and Section 4.6 of Albrecher et al. (2017) for more details.

The ES function is the same function as CTE but is deprecated.

Returns

Vector with the CTE corresponding to each element of $p$.
