Reinforced urn processes for credit risk models
We propose a Bayesian nonparametric model to estimate rating migration matrices and default probabilities using the reinforced urn processes (RUP) introduced in Muliere et al. (2000). The estimated default probability becomes our prior information in a parametric model for the prediction of the number of bankruptcies, with the only assumption of exchangeability within rating classes. The Polya ...
متن کاملOn death processes and urn models
In this work we are concerned with so-called Pólya-Eggenberger urn models, which in the simplest case of two colors can be described as follows. At the beginning, the urn contains n white and m black balls. At every step, we choose a ball at random from the urn, examine its color and put it back into the urn and then add/remove balls according to its color by the following rules: if the ball is...
متن کاملGeneralized Urn Models of Evolutionary Processes
Generalized Polya urn models can describe the dynamics of finite populations of interacting genotypes. Three basic questions these models can address are: Under what conditions does a population exhibit growth? On the event of growth, at what rate does the population increase? What is the long term behavior of the distribution of genotypes? To address these questions, we associate a mean limit ...
متن کاملWeighted networks as randomly reinforced urn processes.
We analyze weighted networks as randomly reinforced urn processes, in which the edge-total weights are determined by a reinforcement mechanism. We develop a statistical test and a procedure based on it to study the evolution of networks over time, detecting the "dominance" of some edges with respect to the others and then assessing if a given instance of the network is taken at its steady state...
متن کاملExchangeable Random Processes and Data Abstraction
Several Turing-complete probabilistic programming languages such as Church, Venture and Anglican support so-called exchangeable random processes (XRPs) as built-in abstract data types. Instances of these data types denote infinite sequences of random values. Every such object satisfies the so-called exchangeability property, which says that the probability distribution of the object does not ch...
