Any backtesting of a VaR model could be reduced to the problem of determining whether the sequence of exceptions satisfies two properties, namely the unconditional coverage property and the independence property. Which of the following statements correctly links these two properties to the backtesting based on probability integral transform (PIT)?
A
The unconditional coverage property requires the consistency between the number of observed exceptions and the VaR confidence level, which corresponds to a standard normally distributed PIT series.
B
The unconditional coverage property restricts the number of observed exceptions at a determined significance level, which corresponds to a standard uniformly distributed PIT series.
C
The independence property requires that each observed exception is informative of future exceptions, which corresponds to an iid standard uniformly distributed PIT series.
D
The independence property requires that the observed exceptions should be independent from one another, which corresponds to an iid standard normally distributed PIT series.
