Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, we study dependence uncertainty and the resulting effects on tail risk measures, which play a fundamental role in modern risk management. We introduce the notion of a regular dependence measure, defined on multimarginal couplings, as a generalization of well‐known correlation statistics such as the Pearson correlation. The first main result states that even an arbitrarily small positive dependence between losses can result in perfectly correlated tails beyond a certain threshold and seemingly complete independence before this threshold. In a second step, we focus on the aggregation of individual risks with known marginal distributions by means of arbitrary nondecreasing left‐continuous aggregation functions. In this context, we show that under an arbitrarily small positive dependence, the tail risk of the aggregate loss might coincide with the one of perfectly correlated losses. A similar result is derived for expectiles under mild conditions. In a last step, we discuss our results in the context of credit risk, analyzing the potential effects on the value at risk for weighted sums of Bernoulli distributed losses.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
