1 Decision theory and distorted risk measures
Consider a preference ordering among risks, � such that1. � is distribution based, i.e. if X � Y , ∀X L= X Y
L= Y , then X � Y ; hence,we can write FX � FY
2. � is total, reflexive and transitive,3. � is continuous, i.e. ∀FX , FY and FZ such that FX � FY � FZ , ∃λ, µ ∈ (0, 1)
such thatλFX + (1− λ)FZ � FY � µFX + (1− µ)FZ .
4. � satisfies an independence axiom, i.e. ∀FX , FY and FZ , and ∀λ ∈ (0, 1),
FX � FY =⇒ λFX + (1− λ)FZ � λFY + (1− λ)FZ .
5. � satisfies an ordering axiom, ∀X and Y constant (i.e.P(X = x) = P(Y = y) = 1, FX � FY =⇒ x ≤ y.

Theorem1Ordering � satisfies axioms 1-2-3-4-5 if and only if ∃u : R→ R, continuous, strictlyincreasing and unique (up to an increasing affine transformation) such that ∀FX and FY :
FX � FY ⇔∫Ru(x)dFX(x) ≤
∫Ru(x)dFY (x)
⇔ E[u(X)] ≤ E[u(Y )].
But if we consider an alternative to the independence axiom4’. � satisfies an dual independence axiom, i.e. ∀FX , FY and FZ , and ∀λ ∈ (0, 1),
FX � FY =⇒ [λF−1X + (1− λ)F−1
Z ]−1 � [λF−1Y + (1− λ)F−1
Z ]−1.
we (Yaari (1987)) obtain a dual representation theorem,Theorem2Ordering � satisfies axioms 1-2-3-4’-5 if and only if ∃g : [0, 1]→ R, continuous, strictlyincreasing such that ∀FX and FY :
FX � FY ⇔∫Rg(FX(x))dx ≤

Proposition1IfR is a monetary convex fonction, then the three statements are equivalent,– R is strongly coherent,– R is additive for comonotonic risks,– R is a maximal correlation measure.
Proposition2A coherente risk measureR is additive for comonotonic risks if and only if there exists adecreasing positive function φ on [0, 1] such that
R(X) =∫ 1
0φ(t)F−1(1− t)dt
where F (x) = F(X ≤ x).

Definition1A distortion function is a function g : [0, 1]→ [0, 1] such that g(0) = 0 and g(1) = 1.
For positive risks,Definition1Given distortion function g, Wang’s risk measure, denotedRg , is
Rg (X) =∫ ∞

More generally (risks taking value in R)Definition2We call distorted risk measure

Here, it looks like risk measures can be seen as R(X) = Eg◦P(X).Remark1Let Q denote the distorted measure induced by g on P, denoted g ◦ P i.e.
Q([a,+∞)) = g(P([a,+∞))).
Since g is increasing on [0, 1] Q is a capacity.
Example1Consider function g(x) = xk. The PH - proportional hazard - risk measure is
R(X; k) =∫ 1

If k is an integer [F (x)]k is the survival distribution of the minimum over k values.

Es[X;h] = E[X exp(hX)]MX(h) = d
dhlnMX(h).

2 Archimedean copulas
Definition3Let φ denote a decreasing function (0, 1]→ [0,∞] such that φ(1) = 0, and such thatφ−1 is d-monotone, i.e. for all k = 0, 1, · · · , d, (−1)k[φ−1](k)(t) ≥ 0 for all t. Definethe inverse (or quasi-inverse if φ(0) <∞) as
φ−1(t) =
φ−1(t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ φ(0)0 for φ(0) < t <∞.
The function
C(u1, · · · , un) = φ−1(φ(u1) + · · ·+ φ(ud)), u1, · · · , un ∈ [0, 1],
is a copula, called an Archimedean copula, with generator φ.
Let Φd denote the set of generators in dimension d.Example2The independent copula C⊥ is an Archimedean copula, with generator φ(t) = − log t.
10
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 2 ARCHIMEDEAN COPULAS
The upper Fréchet-Hoeffding copula, defined as the minimum componentwise,M(u) = min{u1, · · · , ud}, is not Archimedean (but can be obtained as the limit ofsome Archimedean copulas).
Set λ(t) = exp[−φ(t)] (the multiplicative generator), then
C(u1, ..., ud) = λ−1(λ(u1) · · ·λ(ud)),∀u1, ..., ud ∈ [0, 1],
which can be written
C(u1, ..., ud) = λ−1(C⊥[λ(u1), . . . , λ(ud)]),∀u1, ..., ud ∈ [0, 1],
Note that it is possible to get an interpretation of that distortion of theindependence.
A large subclass of Archimedean copula in dimension d is the class ofArchimedean copulas obtained using the frailty approach.
Consider random variables X1, · · · , Xd conditionally independent, given a latentfactor Θ, a positive random variable, such that P (Xi ≤ xi|Θ) = Gi (x)Θ whereGi denotes a baseline distribution function.
11
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 2 ARCHIMEDEAN COPULAS
The joint distribution function of X is given by
FX (x1, · · · , xd) = E (P (X1 ≤ x1, · · · , Xd ≤ Xd|Θ))
= E
(d∏i=1
P (Xi ≤ xi|Θ))

logGi (xi)),
where ψ is the Laplace transform of the distribution of Θ, i.e.ψ (t) = E (exp (−tΘ)) . Because the marginal distributions are given respectivelyby
Fi(xi) = P(Xi ≤ xi) = ψ (− logGi (xi)) ,the copula of X is
C (u) = FX
(F−1
1 (u1) , · · · , F−1d (ud)
)= ψ
(ψ−1 (u) + · · ·+ ψ−1 (ud)
)This copula is an Archimedean copula with generator φ = ψ−1 (see e.g. Clayton(1978), Oakes (1989), Bandeen-Roche & Liang (1996) for more details).

3 Hierarchical Archimedean copulas
It is possible to look at C(u1, · · · , ud) defined as
φ−11 [φ1[φ−1
2 (φ2[· · ·φ−1d−1[φd−1(u1) + φd−1(u2)] + · · ·+ φ2(ud−1))] + φ1(ud)]
where φi are generators. C is a copula if φi ◦ φ−1i−1 is the inverse of a Laplace
transform. This copula is said to be a fully nested Archimedean (FNA) copula.E.g. in dimension d = 5, we get
φ−11 [φ1(φ−1
2 [φ2(φ−13 [φ3(φ−1
4 [φ4(u1) + φ4(u2)]) + φ3(u3)]) + φ2(u4)]) + φ1(u5)].
It is also possible to consider partially nested Archimedean (PNA) copulas, e.g.by coupling (U1, U2, U3), and (U4, U5),
φ−14 [φ4(φ−1
1 [φ1(φ−12 [φ2(u1) + φ2(u2)]) + φ1(u3)]) + φ4(φ−1
3 [φ3(u4) + φ3(u5)])]
Again, it is a copula if φ2 ◦ φ−11 is the inverse of a Laplace transform, as well as
φ4 ◦ φ−11 and φ4 ◦ φ−1

1 [φ1(u1) + φ1(u2) + φ1(u3)]) + φ3(φ−12 [φ2(u4) + φ2(u5)])].

Example3If φi’s are Gumbel’s generators, with parameter θi, a sufficient condition for C to be aFNA copula is that θi’s increasing. Similarly if φi’s are Clayton’s generators.
Again, an heuristic interpretation can be derived, see Hougaard (2000), with twofrailties Θ1 and Θ2 such that

4 Distorting copulas
Genest & Rivest (2001) extended the concept of Archimedean copulasintroducing the multivariate probability integral transformation (Wang, Nelsen &Valdez (2005) called this the distorted copula, while Klement, Mesiar & Pap(2005) or Durante & Sempi (2005) called this the transformed copula). Considera copula C. Let h be a continuous strictly concave increasing function[0, 1]→ [0, 1] satisfying h (0) = 0 and h (1) = 1, such that
Dh (C) (u1, · · · , ud) = h−1 (C (h (u1) , · · · , h (ud))), 0 ≤ ui ≤ 1
is a copula. Those functions will be called distortion functions.Example4A classical example is obtained when h is a power function, and when the power is theinverse of an integer, hn(x) = x1/n, i.e.
Dhn(C) (u, v) = Cn(u1/n, v1/n), 0 ≤ u, v ≤ 1 and n ∈ N.
Then this copula is the survival copula of the componentwise maxima : the copula of
18
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
(max{X1, · · · , Xn},max{Y1, · · · , Yn}) is Dhn(C), where {(X1, Y1), · · · , (Xn, Yn)}
is an i.i.d. sample, and the (Xi, Yi)’s have copula C.
A max-stable copula is a copula C such that ∀n ∈ N,
Cn(u1/n1 , · · · , u1/n
d ) = C(u1, · · · , ud).
Example5Let φ denote a convex decreasing function on (0, 1] such that φ(1) = 0, and defineC(u, v) = φ−1(φ(u) +φ(v)) = Dexp[−φ](C⊥). This function is an Archimedean copula.
Example6A distorted version of the comonontonic copula is the comonotonic copula,
h−1[min{h(u1), · · · , h(ud)}] = min{u1, · · · , ud}
Example7Following the idea of Capéraà, Fougères & Genest (2000), it is possible to constructArchimax copulas as distortions of max-stable copulas. In dimension d = 2, max-stable
19
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
copulas are characterized through a generator A such that
C(u, v) = exp[log(uv)A
(log(u)log(uv)
)]Here consider φ an Archimedean generator, then Archimax copulas are defined as
C(u, v) = φ−1[[φ(u) + φ(v)]A
(φ(u)
φ(u) + φ(v)
)]In the bivariate case, h need not be differentiable, and concavity is a sufficientcondition.
20
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
With nonconcave distortion function, distorted copulas are semi-copulas, fromBassan & Spizzichino (2001).Definition4Function S : [0, 1]d → [0, 1] is a semi-copula if 0 ≤ ui ≤ 1, i = 1, · · · , d,
S(1, ..., 1, ui, 1, ..., 1) = ui, (3)
S(u1, ..., ui−1, 0, ui+1, ..., ud) = 0, (4)and s 7→ S(u1, ..., ui−1, s, ui+1, ..., ud) is increasing on [0, 1].
Let Hd denote the set of continuous strictly increasing functions [0, 1]→ [0, 1]such that h (0) = 0 and h (1) = 1, C ∈ C,
Dh (C) (u1, · · · , ud) = h−1 (C (h (u1) , · · · , h (ud))) , 0 ≤ ui ≤ 1
is a copula, called distorted copula.Hd-copulas will be functions Dh (C) for some distortion function h and somecopula C.d-increasingness of function Dh (C) is obtained when h ∈ Hd, i.e. h is continuous,
21
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
with h (0) = 0 and h (1) = 1, and such that h(k)(x) ≤ 0 for all x ∈ (0, 1) andk = 2, 3, · · · , d (see Theorem 2.6 and 4.4 in Morillas (2005)).
As a corollary, note that if φ ∈ Φd, then h(x) = exp(−φ(x)) belongs to Hd.Further, observe that for h, h′ ∈ Hd,
Dh◦h′ (C) (u1, · · · , ud) = (Dh ◦ Dh′) (C) (u1, · · · , ud) , 0 ≤ ui ≤ 1.
Again, it is possible to get an intuitive interpretation of that distortion.
Consider a max-stable copula C. Let X be a random vector such that X given Θhas copula C and P (Xi ≤ xi|Θ) = Gi (xi)Θ, i = 1, · · · , d.
Then, the (unconditional) joint distribution function of X is given by
F (x) = E (P (X1 ≤ x1, · · · , Xd ≤ xd|Θ))= E (C (P (X1 ≤ xi|Θ) , · · · ,P (Xd ≤ xd|Θ)))
= E(C(G1 (x1)Θ
, · · · , Gd (xd)Θ))
= E(CΘ (G1 (x1) , · · · , Gd (xd))
)= ψ (− logC (G1 (x1) , · · · , Gd (xd))) ,
22
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
where ψ is the Laplace transform of the distribution of Θ, i.e.ψ (t) = E (exp (−tΘ)), since C is a max-stable copula, i.e.
C(G1 (x1)Θ
, · · · , Gd (xd)Θ)
= CΘ (G1 (x1) , · · · , Gd (xd)) .
The unconditional marginal distribution functions are Fi (xi) = ψ (− logGi (xi)),and therefore
CX (x1, · · · , xd) = ψ(− log
(C(exp
[−ψ−1 (x)
], exp
[−ψ−1 (y)
]))).
Note that since ψ−1 is completly montone, then h belongs to Hd.
23
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 4 DISTORTING COPULAS
Remark2It is possible to use distortion to obtain stronger tail dependence (with results that can berelated to C & Segers (2007)). Recall that
λL = limu→0
C(u, u)u
and λU = limu→1
1− C(u, u)1− u .
If h−1 is regularly varying in 0 with exponent α > 0, i.e. h−1(t) ∼ L0tα in 0, then
λL(Dh(C)) = [λL(C)]α.
If h−1 is regularly varying in 1 with exponent β > 0, i.e. 1− h−1(t) ∼ L0[1− t]β in 1,then λU (Dh(C)) = 2− [2− λU (C)]β .

Wang (1996) proposed the risk measure based on distortion functiong(t) = Φ(Φ−1(t)− λ), with λ ≥ 0 (to be convex).
Valdez (2009) suggested a multivariate distortion.

Let C be a copula and let U be a random vector with joint distribution functionC. Let u ∈ (0, 1]d be such that C(u) > 0. The lower tail dependence copula of Cat level u is defined as the copula, denoted Cu, of the joint distribution of U
conditionally on the event {U ≤ u} = {U1 ≤ u1, · · · , Ud ≤ ud}.
6.1 Aging with Archimedean copulas
If C is a strict Archimedean copula with generator φ (i.e. φ(0) =∞), then thelower tail dependence copula relative to C at level u is given by the strictArchimedean copula with generator φu defined by
φu(t) = φ(t · C(u))− φ(C(u)), 0 ≤ t ≤ 1,
where C(u) = φ−1[φ(u1) + · · ·+ φ(ud)] (see Juri & Wüthrich (2002) or C & Juri(2007)).
27
Arthur CHARPENTIER, Distortion in actuarial sciences 6 APPLICATION TO AGING PROBLEMS
Example8Gumbel copulas have generator φ (t) = [− ln t]θ where θ ≥ 1. For any u ∈ (0, 1]d, thecorresponding conditional copula has generator
φu (t) =[M1/θ − ln t
]θ−M where M = [− ln u1]θ + · · ·+ [− ln ud]θ .
Example9Clayton copulas C have generator φ (t) = t−θ − 1 where θ > 0. Hence,
φu (t) = [t·C(u)]−θ−1−φ(C(u)) = t−θ·C(u)−θ−1−[C(u)−θ−1] = C(u)−θ·[t−θ−1],
hence φu (t) = C(u)−θ · φ(t). Since the generator of an Archimedean copula is uniqueup to a multiplicative constant, φu is also the generator of Clayton copula, withparameter θ.
Theorem3Consider X with Archimedean copula, having a factor representation, and let ψ denotethe Laplace transform of the heterogeneity factor Θ. Let u ∈ (0, 1]d, then X givenX ≤ F−1

6.2 Aging with distorted copulas copulas
Recall that Hd-copulas are defined as
Dh(C)(u1, · · · , ud) = h−1(C(h(u1), · · · , h(ud))), 0 ≤ ui ≤ 1,
where C is a copula, and h ∈ Hd is a d-distortion function.
Assume that there exists a positive random variable Θ, such that, conditionallyon Θ, random vector X = (X1, · · · , Xd) has copula C, which does not depend onΘ. Assume moreover that C is in extreme value copula, or max-stable copula (seee.g. Joe (1997)) : C

Let Θ be a random variable with Laplace transform ψ, and consider a random vectorX = (X1, · · · , Xd) such that X given Θ has copula C, an extreme value copula.Assume that, for all i = 1, · · · , d, P (Xi ≤ xi|Θ) = Gi (xi)Θ where the Gi’s aredistribution functions. Then X has copula
