Efficient estimation of large portfolio loss probabilities in t-copula models
We consider the problem of accurately measuring the credit risk of a portfolio consisting of loans, bonds and other financial assets. One particular performance measure of interest is the probability of large portfolio losses over a fixed time horizon. We revisit the so-called t-copula that generalizes the popular normal copula to allow for extremal dependence among defaults. By utilizing the a...
متن کاملEfficient estimation of blocking probabilities in non-stationary loss networks
We consider estimation of blocking probabilities in a nonstationary loss network. By invoking the so called MOL (Modified Offered Load) approximation, the problem is transformed into one requiring the solution of blocking probabilities in stationary loss networks with time varying loads. To estimate these blocking probabilities, Monte Carlo simulation is used and to increase the efficiency of t...
متن کاملEfficient maximum likelihood estimation of copula based meta t-distributions
Recently an efficient fixed point algorithm for finding maximum likelihood estimates has found its application in models based on Gaussian copulas. It requires a decomposition of a likelihood function into two parts and their iterative maximization. Therefore, this algorithm is called maximization by parts (MBP). For copula-based models, the algorithm MBP improves the efficiency of a two-step e...
متن کاملEfficient estimation of emission probabilities in profile hidden Markov models
MOTIVATION Profile hidden Markov models provide a sensitive method for performing sequence database search and aligning multiple sequences. One of the drawbacks of the hidden Markov model is that the conserved amino acids are not emphasized, but signal and noise are treated equally. For this reason, the number of estimated emission parameters is often enormous. Focusing the analysis on conserve...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Archimedean copula and t-copula with application in credit portfolio modeling
Besides their advantage in modelling tail-dependency, the main drawback of standard non-Gaussian copula is the homogeneity in the tail dependency parameter. Several approaches to solve this are meanwhile developed, hierachical copula, the grouped t-copula and the heterogeneous t-copula as recently described by Luo and Shevchenko [1]. We will show results from a concrete implementation of a fact...
