用新方法模拟多变量极端事件,提升风险评估准确性
Simulation of Multivariate Extremes: a Wasserstein-Aitchison GAN approach
- 基于极值理论与对数坐标变换,构建尾部依赖结构生成模型
- 在金融数据上表现优于现有方法,准确生成极端样本
- 适合金融、气候等高风险系统中的压力测试与韧性分析
经济上可行的多变量极端风险缓解(如大范围极端降雨、多股票价格同步剧烈波动、交通系统大规模瘫痪)需要评估系统在合理压力情景下的韧性。本文基于极值理论(EVT),提出一种新的多变量极端事件模拟方法。具体而言,假设经过标准化变换后,所关注随机现象的分布为多变量正则变化,并据此提供原始尺度上的极端采样流程。该方法结合了基于Wasserstein-Aitchison GAN(WA-GAN)的尾部依赖结构模拟与原始尺度上边缘尾部的联合建模。WA-GAN利用角度测度(编码极端观测方向在单位单纯形上的分布),通过Aitchison坐标变换将其映射到线性空间,使Wasserstein-GAN可在该空间中运行。该方法在多种尾部依赖情景下的模拟数据及来自Kenneth French数据库的金融数据上进行了验证,结果表明其在捕捉尾部依赖结构和生成准确极端观测方面均显著优于现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Economically responsible mitigation of multivariate extreme risks-such as extreme rainfall over large areas, large simultaneous variations in many stock prices, or widespread breakdowns in transportation systems-requires assessing the resilience of the systems under plausible stress scenarios. This paper uses Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to develop a new approach to simulating such multivariate extreme events. Specifically, we assume that after transformation to a standard scale the distribution of the random phenomenon of interest is multivariate regular varying and use this to provide a sampling procedure for extremes on the original scale. Our procedure combines a Wasserstein-Aitchison Generative Adversarial Network (WA-GAN) to simulate the tail dependence structure on the standard scale with joint modeling of the univariate marginal tails on the original scale. The WA-GAN procedure relies on the angular measure-encoding the distribution on the unit simplex of the angles of extreme observations-after transformation to Aitchison coordinates, which allows the Wasserstein-GAN algorithm to be run in a linear space. Our method is applied both to simulated data under various tail dependence scenarios and to a financial data set from the Kenneth French Data Library. The proposed algorithm demonstrates strong performance compared to existing alternatives in the literature, both in capturing tail dependence structures and in generating accurate new extreme observations.
