Abstract

Value at risk is a device to measure the maximum possible loss when the right tail distribution is ignored. Since uncertain random variables provide a tool to deal with phenomena in which uncertainty and randomness simultaneously exist, this paper proposes a computational approach for value at risk of uncertain random variables. In fact, a chance distribution can be expressed based on expectation with respect to probability distribution functions. Thus, chance distributions are computed via Monte Carlo simulation. And consequently, value at risk is obtained via statistical quintile index. As an application in finance, portfolio selection problems of uncertain random returns are optimized via mean–value at risk models.
