RT Generic T1 Multivariate extremality measure A1 Lillo Rodríguez, Rosa Elvira A1 Romo, Juan A1 Laniado Rodas, Henry A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística, AB We propose a new multivariate order based on a concept that we will callextremality". Given a unit vector, the extremality allows to measure the"farness" of a point with respect to a data cloud or to a distribution in thevector direction. We establish the most relevant properties of this measureand provide the theoretical basis for its nonparametric estimation. Weinclude two applications in Finance: a multivariate Value at Risk (VaR)with level sets constructed through extremality and a portfolio selectionstrategy based on the order induced by extremality.
