CVaR Deviation. Conditional Value-at-Risk for (Linear Loss) - (Average over  Linear Loss  scenarios) , i.e., the average of largest (1-α)% of  (Linear Loss) - (Average over Linear Loss scenarios) scenarios.

 

Syntax

cvar_dev(α, matrix)

short call

cvar_dev_name(α, matrix)

call with optional name

 

Parameters

matrix        is a Matrix of Scenarios:

       

where the header row contains names of variables (except scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark). Other rows contain numerical data. The scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark columns are optional.

       is a confidence level.

 

Mathematical Definition
