Spectral backtests of forecast distributions with application to risk management
TL;DR: This work studies a class of backtests for forecast distributions in which the test statistic depends on a spectral transformation that weights exceedance events by a function of the modeled probability level and proposes novel variants which are easily implemented, well-sized and have good power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling Volatile Time Series with V-Transforms and Copulas
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to the modelling of volatile time series using a class of uniformity-preserving transforms for uniform random variables is proposed, which can be represented as copulas and permit the formulation and estimation of models that combine arbitrary marginal distributions with copula processes for the dynamics of the volatility proxy.

Time series copula models using d-vines and v-transforms: an alternative to GARCH modelling
Martin Bladt,Alexander J. McNeil +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to model volatile financial return series using d-vine copulas combined with uniformity preserving transformations known as v-transforms is proposed by generalizing the concept of stochastic inversion of vtransforms.
