Abstract
In the context of robust Bayesian analysis, studies mainly focus on computing the range of some quantities of interest when the prior distribution varies in a class. We use the concept of distorted bands to introduce a family of priors on the shape parameter of the Generalized Pareto distribution. We show how certain properties of the likelihood ratio order allow us to propose novel sensitivity measures for Value at Risk and Conditional Value at Risk, which are the most useful and reliable risk measures. Although we focus on the Generalized Pareto distribution, which is essential in Extreme Value Theory, the new sensitivity measures could be employed for all the distributions that verify certain conditions related to likelihood ratio order. A thorough simulation study was carried out to perform a sensitivity analysis, and two illustrative examples are also provided.
