We will discuss measures to describe financial risk: credit risk, operational risk, insurance risk among others. In particular, we will introduce Value-At-Risk and Expected Shortfall. We will calculate risk measures for some simple probabilistic models. Next, we will address the issue of estimation of risk measures: parametric, semi-parametric and non-parametric methods will be introduced.

Abstract: Judiciously coding the symbols in a file can lead to compression without losing information. We will discuss Huffman's solution to the optimal prefix-free coding problem.
We will also discuss the relationship between Shannon's entropy and the optimal coding problem.
