    @David Harper CFA FRM Thanks so much ! Exactly what I was looking for .. So is this the takeaway...? If β=0 which in turn is our NULL HYP criteria here, then that would imply that the independent variable has no influence on the dependent variable. So if NULL HYP fails, then that confirms that...

    Hi Brian, @brian.field ...this is the example to illustrate that VAR violates the Coherent Risk Measure property= sub additivity... think it is in the right context, but have questions on the example itself...and so thinking, there might be a spreadsheet 5.d.1...with the detailed workings...

    @David Harper CFA FRM Have a follow up question on the above... You mentioned .. "Relative normal (%) VaR(α) = σ*z just multiplies by value to get dollars to get $VaR VaR(α) = P*σ*z, and that's just translating the x-axis from % to $ without changing the probability distribution." Now, given the...
