Abstract
Law-invariant or version-independent coherent risk or acceptability functionals do not explicitly depend on the underlying probability space and can be considered as functionals of the distribution function. In this paper, we consider estimates of these functionals based on the empirical distribution function and investigate their asymptotic properties.
