2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon-There are just some of us all around who would never drive an suv or a minivan but need something practical for family duties. The Acura TSX is one in all my favorite cars in sedan form but I felt that the wagon deserved special mention for bringing luxury, style, class and driving fun into the family transportation segment.

When my hubby brought this finding to the eye of the Ft. Wayne Indiana Toyota dealer, i was told that they would look into the matter. After wasting 7 days before actually doing everything to change this lease, i was told exercises, diet tips too newer. The salesman never offered us this wonderful deal, and the sales manager told us their dealership gave us the best deal toyota tundra off road they would probably. In the same sentence the sales team leader told us we qualified for the cheaper offer. In all honesty they didn't give us the cheapest price they can have. They gave us the highest lease price we were willing with regard to. My credit score is excellent, but it wouldn't have designed a difference for this dealership. After we had shopped around precisely what you want our lease, we might have definitely got a new better deal.

Now, Certain understand why Toyota doesn't offer the SE with rear seat DVD entertainment since most parents discovered that to be an indispensible feature nowadays. Besides that toyota tundra tuning the 3.5 liter V6 emits a lion-like and throaty roar under heavy acceleration that your call don't expect from a clever minivan. Do note I did not have a chance to drive a car the 2011 Honda Odyssey yet when I had the outcome might happen to different. We'll see this year.

Brian Ickler will make his begin of 2011 in the Kyle Busch Motorsports #18 Dollar General Toyota Tundra at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday, June 10. The WinStar World Casino 400K is being run when partnered with the IZOD IndyCar Series Twin 275s on Saturday, June eleventh.

The level came when he was a college junior. He'd just won the co-angler division for this 1994 Bassmaster Top 100 on Lake Norman. Diet plans . only or even bass tournament he'd ever entered.

16-year-old Erik Jones brought home his second top finish because many races in the absolutely no. 51 SUV for Kyle Busch Motorsports, finishing ninth in Sunday's NC Education Lottery 200 at Rockingham Speedway. Jones started at the tail-end belonging to the field in 36th, dropping a lap early along. The "lucky dog" award put him back with the lead lap, and Jones climbed in the top 10 in morrison a pardon stages belonging to the 200-lap race, which was won by Kyle Larson.

Another disadvantage in the Platinum package continually that it adds more chrome trim with regard to an exterior overburdened with it and forces Toyota to stoop a new low no Japanese truck maker has ever gotten to. Yes, the Tundra Platinum comes standard with chrome wheels. They are as tacky just like the optional Red Rock Leather (that really looks orange) and the cheesy half wood/half leather steering interior.

Then either the CrewMax Limited Platinum Package which pulls out all of the stops with vented and heated seats, wood grain style trim and a sunroof. Three cab sizes can be had - regular, double and CrewMax. The Tundra also has three wheelbase and bed lengths. Quite a few options? Not what this means you can build ultimate truck, get style, performance and practicality and always be able to cover it.

Also visit my web site ... hostgator1centcoupon.info In the field of financial economics there are a number of ways that risk can be defined; to clarify the concept theoreticians have described a number of properties that a risk measure might or might not have. A coherent risk measure is a function $\varrho$ that satisfies properties of monotonicity, sub-additivity, homogeneity, and translational invariance.

Properties

Consider a random outcome $X$ viewed as an element of a linear space ${\mathcal {L}}$ of measurable functions, defined on an appropriate probability space. A functional $\varrho :{\mathcal {L}}$ → $\mathbb {R} \cup \{+\infty \}$ is said to be coherent risk measure for ${\mathcal {L}}$ if it satisfies the following properties:

Normalized

$\varrho (0)=0$

That is, the risk of holding no assets is zero.

Monotonicity

$\mathrm {If} \;Z_{1},Z_{2}\in {\mathcal {L}}\;\mathrm {and} \;Z_{1}\leq Z_{2}\;\mathrm {a.s.} ,\;\mathrm {then} \;\varrho (Z_{1})\geq \varrho (Z_{2})$

That is, if portfolio $Z_{2}$ always has better values than portfolio $Z_{1}$ under almost all scenarios then the risk of $Z_{2}$ should be less than the risk of $Z_{1}$. E.g. If $Z_{1}$ is an in the money call option (or otherwise) on a stock, and $Z_{2}$ is also an in the money call option with a lower strike price.

Sub-additivity

$\mathrm {If} \;Z_{1},Z_{2}\in {\mathcal {L}},\;\mathrm {then} \;\varrho (Z_{1}+Z_{2})\leq \varrho (Z_{1})+\varrho (Z_{2})$

Indeed, the risk of two portfolios together cannot get any worse than adding the two risks separately: this is the diversification principle.

Positive homogeneity

$\mathrm {If} \;\alpha \geq 0\;\mathrm {and} \;Z\in {\mathcal {L}},\;\mathrm {then} \;\varrho (\alpha Z)=\alpha \varrho (Z)$

Loosely speaking, if you double your portfolio then you double your risk.

Translation invariance

If $A$ is a deterministic portfolio with guaranteed return $a$ and $Z\in {\mathcal {L}}$ then

$\varrho (Z+A)=\varrho (Z)-a$

The portofolio $A$ is just adding cash $a$ to your portfolio $Z$. In particular, if $a=\varrho (Z)$ then $\varrho (Z+A)=0$.

Convex risk measures

The notion of coherence has been subsequently relaxed. Indeed, the notions of Sub-additivity and Positive Homogeneity can be replaced by the notion of convexity:

Convexity

$If\ Z_{1},Z_{2}\in {\mathcal {L}}{\text{ and }}\lambda \in [0,1]{\text{ then }}\varrho (\lambda Z_{1}+(1-\lambda )Z_{2})\leq \lambda \varrho (Z_{1})+(1-\lambda )\varrho (Z_{2})$

General Framework of Wang Transform

Wang transform of the decumulative distribution function

A Wang transform of the decumulative distribution function is an increasing function $g\colon [0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ where $g(0)=0$ and $g(1)=1$. This function is called distortion function or Wang transform function.

The dual distortion function is ${\tilde {g}}(x)=1-g(1-x)$. Given a probability space $(\Omega ,{\mathcal {F}},\mathbb {P} )$, then for any random variable $X$ and any distortion function $g$ we can define a new probability measure $\mathbb {Q}$ such that for any $A\in {\mathcal {F}}$ it follows that $\mathbb {Q} (A)=g(\mathbb {P} (X\in A)).$

Actuarial premium principle

For any increasing concave Wang transform function, we could define a corresponding premium principle : $\varrho (X)=\int _{0}^{+\infty }g\left({\bar {F}}_{X}(x)\right)dx$

Coherent risk measure

A coherent risk measure could be defined by a Wang transform of the decumulative distribution function $g$ if on only if $g$ is concave.

Examples of risk measure

Value at risk

It is well known that value at risk is not, in general, a coherent risk measure as it does not respect the sub-additivity property. An immediate consequence is that value at risk might discourage diversification. Value at risk is, however, coherent, under the assumption of elliptically distributed losses (e.g. normally distributed) when the portfolio value is a linear function of the asset prices. However, in this case the value at risk becomes equivalent to a mean-variance approach where the risk of a portfolio is measured by the variance of the portfolio's return.

The Wang transform function (distortion function) for the Value at Risk is $g(x)=\mathbf {1} _{x\geq 1-\alpha }$. The non-concavity of $g$ proves the non coherence of this risk measure.

Illustration

As a simple example to demonstrate the non-coherence of value-at-risk consider looking at the VaR of a portfolio at 95% confidence over the next year of two default-able zero coupon bonds that mature in 1 years time denominated in our numeraire currency.

Assume the following:

• The current yield on the two bonds is 0%
• The two bonds are from different issuers
• Each bonds has a 4% probability of defaulting over the next year
• The event of default in either bond is independent of the other
• Upon default the bonds have a recovery rate of 30%

Under these conditions the 95% VaR for holding either of the bonds is 0 since the probability of default is less than 5%. However if we held a portfolio that consisted of 50% of each bond by value then the 95% VaR is 35% since the probability of at least one of the bonds defaulting is 7.84% which exceeds 5%. This violates the sub-additivity property showing that VaR is not a coherent risk measure.

Average value at risk

The average value at risk (sometimes called expected shortfall or conditional value-at-risk) is a coherent risk measure, even though it is derived from Value at Risk which is not.

Entropic value at risk

The entropic value at risk is a coherent risk measure.

Tail value at risk

The tail value at risk (or tail conditional expectation) is a coherent risk measure only when the underlying distribution is continuous.

The Wang transform function (distortion function) for the tail value at risk is $g(x)=\min({\frac {x}{\alpha }},1)$. The concavity of $g$ proves the coherence of this risk measure in the case of continuous distribution.

Proportionnal Hazard (PH) risk measure

The PH risk measure (or Proportional Hazard Risk measure) transforms the hasard rates $\scriptstyle \left(\lambda (t)={\frac {f(t)}{{\bar {F}}(t)}}\right)$ using a coefficient $\xi$.

The Wang transform function (distortion function) for the PH risk measure is $g_{\alpha }(x)=x^{\xi }$. The concavity of $g$ if $\scriptstyle \xi <{\frac {1}{2}}$ proves the coherence of this risk measure.

g-Entropic risk measures

g-entropic risk measures are a class of information-theoretic coherent risk measures that involve some important cases such as CVaR and EVaR.

The Wang risk measure

The Wang risk measure is define by the following Wang transform function (distortion function) $g_{\alpha }(x)=\Phi \left[\Phi ^{-1}(x)-\Phi ^{-1}(\alpha )\right]$. The coherence of this risk measure is a consequence of the concavity of $g$.

Entropic risk measure

The entropic risk measure is a convex risk measure which is not coherent. It is related to the exponential utility.

Superhedging price

The superhedging price is a coherent risk measure.

Set-valued

In a situation with $\mathbb {R} ^{d}$-valued portfolios such that risk can be measured in $n\leq d$ of the assets, then a set of portfolios is the proper way to depict risk. Set-valued risk measures are useful for markets with transaction costs.

Properties

A set-valued coherent risk measure is a function $R:L_{d}^{p}\rightarrow \mathbb {F} _{M}$, where $\mathbb {F} _{M}=\{D\subseteq M:D=cl(D+K_{M})\}$ and $K_{M}=K\cap M$ where $K$ is a constant solvency cone and $M$ is the set of portfolios of the $m$ reference assets. $R$ must have the following properties:

Normalized

$K_{M}\subseteq R(0)\;\mathrm {and} \;R(0)\cap -\mathrm {int} K_{M}=\emptyset$

Translative in M

$\forall X\in L_{d}^{p},\forall u\in M:R(X+u1)=R(X)-u$

Monotone

$\forall X_{2}-X_{1}\in L_{d}^{p}(K)\Rightarrow R(X_{2})\supseteq R(X_{1})$

Sublinear

Set-valued convex risk measure

If instead of the sublinear property,R is convex, then R is a set-valued convex risk measure.

Dual representation

A lower semi-continuous convex risk measure $\varrho$ can be represented as

$\varrho (X)=\sup _{Q\in {\mathcal {M}}(P)}\{E^{Q}[-X]-\alpha (Q)\}$

such that $\alpha$ is a penalty function and ${\mathcal {M}}(P)$ is the set of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to P (the "real world" probability measure), i.e. ${\mathcal {M}}(P)=\{Q\ll P\}$.

A lower semi-continuous risk measure is coherent if and only if it can be represented as

$\varrho (X)=\sup _{Q\in {\mathcal {Q}}}E^{Q}[-X]$

such that ${\mathcal {Q}}\subseteq {\mathcal {M}}(P)$.
