Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the numerator in the formula for expected shortfall or conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) when the probability level is set at p=0.01. The user expresses confusion about how to calculate this numerator without a clear formula provided. There is a need for clarification on the expected shortfall calculation, particularly in the context of risk management. The conversation highlights the importance of precise formulas in financial risk assessment. Overall, the thread seeks to enhance comprehension of CVaR calculations in practical applications.

I am working on Value at Risk and expected shortfall/conditional Value at Risk.The formula I have is this:
0

What I do not understand is numerator of the second part. If for example I want to look at an expected shortfall when p=0.01 (ignoring the average and the standard deviation). what value will the numerator have?

Thread 'Please Explain (actually explain) The Monty Hall Problem'

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. But this one involves probability, known as the Monty Hall Problem. Please see any number of YouTube videos on this for an explanation, I'll leave it to them to explain it. I question the predicate of all those who answer this...

Thread 'A variant of the Monty Hall problem'

There is a nice little variation of the problem. The host says, after you have chosen the door, that you can change your guess, but to sweeten the deal, he says you can choose the two other doors, if you wish. This proposition is a no brainer, however before you are quick enough to accept it, the host opens one of the two doors and it is empty. In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...

Thread 'Value of intuitionistic logic'

I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.
