VaR (cVaR), and the two worst-outcome days that might occur over the next
year. (This type of information is commonly used in stress testing, and the
VoseKthSmallest function provides these estimates.) The conditional VaR
shows the expected loss, conditional on a loss greater than the VaR thresh-
old. In other words, it is the mean of the outcomes that is worse than the VaR
estimate. Without the formulas displayed, this section of the spreadsheet
appears in Figure4.15.
Notice that many cells will display “No simulation results” until after
the simulation is run,
