The 5 and 95 percentiles of a lognormal loss distribution are 50 and 200. What is the 99.7 percentile of the distribution?
解释:
The 5 and 95-percentiles of the logarithm of the loss are ln(50) and ln(200), (i.e., 3.912 and 5.298). The logarithm of the loss has a mean of (3.912 + 5.298)/2 = 4.605 and a standard deviation of (5.298 – 4.605)/1.645 = 0.421. The 99.7-percentile of the logarithm of the loss is 4.605 + N-1(0.997) × 0.421 = 5.763. The 99.7-percentile of the loss is therefore e5.763 =318.3
