As a result, Santander cannot be held responsible for them. If by implementing the traditional LDA, no particular distribution proves its adequacy to the data -as soon as the goodness-of-fit tests reject them -keeping the LDA corresponds to an arbitrary choice. This paper suggests an alternative and robust approach. For instance, for the two data sets explored in this paper, with the introduced time series strategies, the independence assumption is relaxed and the autocorrelations embedded within the losses are captured. The construction of the related LDF enables the computation of the capital charges and therefore permits to comply with the regulation taking into account at the same time the large losses with adequate distributions on the residuals, and the correlations between the losses with the time series processes.
