The kurtosis coefficient is often regarded as a measure of the tail heaviness of a distribution relative to that of the normal distribution. However, it also measures the peakedne...
: We compare capital requirements derived by tail conditional expectation (TCE) with those derived by tail conditional median (TCM) and find that there is no clear-cut relationship...
We propose a pixel similarity-based algorithm enabling accurate rigid registration between single and multimodal images presenting gross dissimilarities due to noise, missing data...
Background: Protein structure comparison is a central issue in structural bioinformatics. The standard dissimilarity measure for protein structures is the root mean square deviati...
Extreme losses of portfolios with heavy-tailed components are studied in the framework of multivariate regular variation. Asymptotic distributions of extreme portfolio losses are ...
