A conditional expectation can be used to measure the risk of extreme events. Analytical expressions for the conditional expectation of extreme events are derived in this paper for three well-known distributions. This result facilitates the sensitivity analysis of the conditional expectation of extreme events with respect to the selected partitioning point and to the parameters in the chosen distribution.
