Abstract

Coherent risk measures based on generalized scenarios can be viewed as estimating the maximum expected value from among a collection of simulated "systems." We present a procedure for generating a fixed-width confidence interval for this coherent risk measure. The procedure improves upon previous methods by being reliably efficient for simulation of generalized scenarios and portfolios with heterogeneous characteristics.
