Definition
Consider a portfolio Then a spectral risk measure where is non-negative, non-increasing, right-continuous, integrable function defined on such that is defined by
where is the cumulative distribution function for X.
If there are equiprobable outcomes with the corresponding payoffs given by the order statistics . Let . The measure defined by is a spectral measure of risk if satisfies the conditions
- Nonnegativity: for all ,
- Normalization: ,
- Monotonicity : is non-increasing, that is if and .

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The physicians say, they are not materialists; but they are:MSpirit is matter reduced to an extreme thinness: O so thin!—But the definition of spiritual should be, that which is its own evidence. What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
