1 COMPUTER MODELLIG & EW TECHOLOGIES 04 8(C) Lu Shuxa, M Haje Operatonal rs quantfcaton for loss frequency usng fuzzy smulaton Shuxa Lu,*, Haje M School of Busness Admnstraton, Hebe ormal Unversty of Scence & Technology, Qnhuangdao, Chna Chnese Uncom Shjazhuang branch, Shjazhuang, Chna Receved June 04, Abstract The estmaton of the frequency parameter of operatonal rs quantfcaton has receved ncreased attenton under the new Basel proposal. Ths paper proposes an advanced measurement approach usng fuzzy pont estmaton. In ths approach, pror membershp functon could be obtaned through fuzzy maxmum entropy rule. When operatonal rs loss data s gven, posteror membershp functon can be easly calculated by usng fuzzy pont theorem. After posteror mean s exploted as fuzzy pont estmate, loss frequency dstrbuton s gotten. Fnallyn emprcal analyss on ths model s conducted based hstorcal data obtaned from a Chnese commercal ban. The result shows that economcal can reduce the complexty and communcaton cost. Keywords: Operatonal Rs, Basel II Advanced Measurement Approach, Fuzzy Pont Estmaton, Loss Dstrbutonal Approach, Fuzzy Varable Introducton Operatonal Rs s an mportant quanttatve topc n the banng world. Under the Basel II requrements [5,6], many bans ntend to use the Advanced Measurement Approaches (AMA) for the quantfcaton of operatonal rs. Through the Advanced Measurement Approach, the bans are permtted sgnfcant flexblty over the approaches that may be used n the development of operatonal rs models. There are varous quanttatve operatonal rs models ncludng extreme value theory [, 6],Bayesan nference [4, 7, 4, 9, 3, 33], dynamc Bayesan networs [30], maxmum lelhood [] and EM algorthms [3], VAR technques [, 3, 4], other approaches [, 7]. Of the methods developed to model operatonal rs, the majorty follow the Loss Dstrbutonal Approach (LDA) [5]. The dea of LDA s to ft frequency dstrbutons over a predetermned tme horzon, typcally annual. he fnancal nsttutons use a wde varety of frequency and severty dstrbutons for ther operatonal rs data, ncludng exponental, webull, lognormal, generalzed Paretond g- and-h dstrbutons [8].There are potentally many deferent alternatves [6, 5] for the choce of severty and frequency dstrbutons. Several researchers [, 8, 8, 3] have expermented wth operatonal loss data by Basel II busness lne and event type over the past few years. Maryam Prouz[34]dscuss several statstcal methods for modelng truncated datand suggest the best one for modelng truncated loss data, the approach can be useful for ncreasng accuracy of estmatng operatonal rs captal charge n E-banng. Fengge Yao[35] used Condtonal value-at-rs (CVaR) models based on the pea value method of extreme value theory to measure operatonal rs. Younès, Moutassm[36] used separately a lognormal dstrbuton and a gamma dstrbuton n the mxture models for the zeros losses. an operatonal rs assessment model of dstrbuton networ equpment based on rough set and D-S evdence theory was bult[38]. Ahmed Baraat[39] nvestgates the drect and jont effects of ban governance, regulatonnd supervson on the qualty of rs reportng n the banng ndustry. Pjotrs Dorogovsa[40] dscussed new tendences of management and control of operatonal rs n fnancal nsttutons. Lu [] proposed credblty measure and credblty theorynd ntroduced random fuzzy varable as a measurable functon defned on a credblty space valued random varables. Chance measure was proposed by L and Lu [] to measure the chance of a random fuzzy event. The condtonal chance measure was ntroduced by L and Lu [3] to measure the chance of a random fuzzy event after t has been learned that some other event has occurred. For the consdered ban, the unnown parameters (for example the Posson parameter or the Pareto tal ndex) of these dstrbutons have to be quantzed. Our approach to estmate the parameter of the loss dstrbuton s based on fuzzy pont nference. The dea s to use the bans collectve losses and expert opnons to mprove the estmates of the parameters of loss dstrbutons. We demonstrate how the parameter uncertanty can be taen nto account by ban nternal data and expert opnons and study the mpact on the captal charge. In any rs cell, we model the loss frequency and the loss severty by dstrbutons where the lognormal and Pareto dstrbutons are used for modellng severty dstrbutons and Posson dstrbutons for frequency dstrbutons, respectvely. The model mght be very useful at ths stage when the data are very lmted and t may also have educatonal mpact. Fnancally, we analyss the results of an emprcal study wth external operatonal loss data of some Chnese commercal bans. * Correspondng author s e-mal: xxgllushuxa@6.com 577

We strongly advocate that fuzzy pont estmaton approaches to operatonal rs modelng should be consdered as a serous alternatve for practtoners n bans and fnancal nsttutonss t provdes a mathematcally rgorous paradgm n whch to combne observed data and expert opnon. We hope that the presented method provdes an attractve and feasble approach n whch to realze these models. The proposed measurng method allows usng the bans collectve losses data and expert opnons to mprove the correctness of estmates value. It s flexble and robust technque to adequately model the operatonal loss frequency and severty. Fnancally, we smulate posteror mean of loss frequency of the operatonal rs.the method presented n ths paper performs better than the other mentoned methods when a few data are avalable.
