Loss Exceedance Curve
A loss exceedance curve is a graph that shows the probability that a financial loss will be larger than a given amount, usually over a set period such as a year. Instead of predicting a single dollar figure, it presents a range of possible losses paired with the likelihood of each being exceeded. This helps decision-makers see, for example, how likely it is that losses will exceed a specific threshold within a year.
