  5. Law of large numbers - Wikipedia

    The law of large numbers provides an expectation of an unknown distribution from a realization of the sequence, but also any feature of the probability distribution. [1] By applying Borel's law of large numbers, one could easily obtain the probability mass function. For each event in the objective probability mass function, one could ...

    The former definition may not be a coherent risk measure in general, however it is coherent if the underlying distribution is continuous. [4] The latter definition is a coherent risk measure. [3] TVaR accounts for the severity of the failure, not only the chance of failure. The TVaR is a measure of the expectation only in the tail of the ...
