For EVT, we use the block maxima or the peaks-over-threshold methods. These provide us the data points that can be fitted to a GEV distribution.
Least squares and maximum likelihood are methods that are used for curve fitting, and they have a variety of applications across risk management.

I believe statement 4 is true since marking to market is standard for liquid securities, but I wonder if there are exceptions.

For statement 3, I feel like we talked about confidence levels being high for maintaining credit ratings, but I can't remember the specifics.

I think statement 2 is tricky; I recall something about mark-to-market being more relevant for trading books rather than the banking book.

I remember discussing how Credit VaR typically uses a one-year horizon, but I'm not entirely sure if that applies to all cases.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the syntax here. I'll need to review my notes on Spark DataFrame transformations to make sure I'm applying the right functions in the right order. Maybe I should start by breaking down the code block and understanding each piece.

This question seems a bit tricky. I'm not sure if the "unique solution" part means there could be multiple correct answers, or if there's only one right way to do it. I'll need to think through the requirements carefully and consider different approaches before selecting my answer.

Statement 1 seems to make sense, as credit activities generally have a longer time horizon than market risk. However, I'm not sure about the other statements - I'll have to look into the details of credit risk assessment and capital calculations.
