Some Definitions

Event Losses A table of all simulated events, with estimates of portfolio loss amounts, descriptive code for the event, and the annual rate of the event recurring. Usually sorted by loss amount.
Cumulative Rate Annual loss rate for an event, and all larger events, which is approximately equal to:
Exceeding Probability Annual probability of a loss equal, to or exceeding, a given amount.
Critical Probability Annual E.P. equating to a loss amount, more commonly expressed as:
Return Time Period (in years) = 1 / Annual E.P. This does not have an easy interpretation as a probability. Don’t try!

Totaling (Event Loss x Rate) = Average Annual Loss
