Abstract:
|
The g-and-h distributions, introduced by John Tukey, have shown substantial promise for analyzing and modeling operational risk in banking. Theoretical analyses have examined their relation to extreme-value theory. The present study pursues a different approach, by investigating the approximation of selected extreme-value distributions by g-and-h distributions.
