Mixture Distribution Approach In Financial Risk Analysis
Mixture Distribution Approach In Financial Risk Analysis
In recent years, major changes occurred in the prices of stock exchange appeared the necessity of measuring the financial risk. Nowadays, Value-atRisk (VaR) is often used to calculate the financial risk. Parametric methods which need normality are mostly used in the calculation of VaR.If the financial data does not fit the normal distribution, mixture of normal distribution models can be fitted to this data. In this study, the financial risk is calculated by using normal mixture distribution models as a new approach to parametric method.
