Our strong conviction is that mathematical statistics is at the very heart of understanding and measuring risk. In other words, to really get a handle on how a risk might behave in future, and the consequences of this, a stochastic approach that acknowledges the range of possible future values that the risk may take is a prerequisite. In particular, this is the case for the risk’s extreme values, and the probabilities of occurrence of these values. The book by Bernstein (1998) gives an excellent introduction to risk.
