Probability of Exceedance. Probability that Linear Loss  exceeds some fixed threshold.

 

Syntax

pr_pen(w, matrix)

short call;

pr_pen_name(w, matrix)

call with optional name.

 

Parameters

       is a threshold value.

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.

 

Mathematical Definition

Probability of Exceedance is calculated as follows
