The class of quantiles lies at the heart of extreme-value theory and is one of the basic tools in risk management. The alternative family of expectiles is based on squared rather than absolute error loss minimization. It has recently been receiving a lot of attention in actuarial science, econometrics and statistical finance. Both quantiles and expectiles can be embedded in a more general class of M-quantiles by means of Lp optimization. These generalized Lp-quantiles steer an advantageous…

Quantiles are recognized tools for risk management and can be seen as minimizers of an $$L^1$$-loss function, but do not define coherent risk measures in general. Expectiles, meanwhile, are

The fact that the expectiles of a distribution F are in fact the quantiles of another distribution E explicitly linked to F is exploited in order to construct nonparametric kernel estimators of extreme conditional expectiles, which are analyzed in the context of conditional heavy-tailed distributions.

Expectiles define a least squares analogue of quantiles. They are determined by tail expectations rather than tail probabilities. For this reason and many other theoretical and practical merits,

By substituting an Lp loss function for the L1 loss function in the optimization problem defining quantiles, one obtains Lp-quantiles that, as shown recently, dominate their classical L1-counterparts

A sample quantile resulting from a large bootstrap sample drawn from the fitted joint distribution is taken as the estimator for the extreme quantile and is proved to be consistent under the regularity conditions on the closeness between a quantile set and its truncated set, and the empirical approximation for the truncation set.

In this paper, we introduce a new risk measure, the so‐called conditional tail moment. It is defined as the moment of order a ≥ 0 of the loss distribution above the upper α‐quantile where α ∈ (0,1).
The asymptotic normality of a class of estimators for extreme quantiles is established under mild structural conditions on the observed stationary \beta-mixing time series. Consistent estimators of
