\noindent
~In insurance data analytics and actuarial practice, a broad class of
risk measures -- {\em distortion risk measures\/} -- are used to capture
the riskiness of the distribution tail. Point and interval estimates of
the risk measures are then employed to price extreme events, to develop
reserves, to design risk transfer strategies, and to allocate capital.
When solving such problems, the main statistical challenge is to choose
an appropriate estimate of a risk measure and to assess its variability.
In this context, the empirical …
