How It Works

Backtest VaR models using the Kupiec Proportion of Failures (POF) test and Christoffersen conditional coverage test. Count VaR exceptions, calculate likelihood ratios, and determine whether model violations are statistically acceptable

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Kupiec Proportion of Failures test — The kupiec proportion of failures test recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Christoffersen conditional coverage test — The christoffersen conditional coverage test recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the var backtesting result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Kupiec Proportion of Failures test, Christoffersen conditional coverage test for the scenario you are assessing. Backtest VaR models using the Kupiec Proportion of Failures (POF) test and Christoffersen conditional coverage test. Count VaR exceptions, calculate likelihood ratios, and determine whether model violations are statistically acceptable. Use the var backtesting result to inform your calculation.
