Cuantificación del riesgo operacional utilizando sistemas de funciones iteradas

this article is one of the results obtain in a research project funded by the university eafit in 2011, this paper is based upon a study carried out by iacus and la torre [1], it is presented the fractal estimation, through iterated function systems (ifs), as an alternative to estimate the distribution function of added losses which is necessary to quantify the operational risk. as it is shown in the analysis, this technique can deal with some of the difficulties presented with some of the classic actuarial methodologies. furthermore, an application is presented and conclusions are obtained from it.
