Measuring Marginal Risk Contributions in Credit Portfolios
We consider the problem of decomposing the credit risk in a portfolio into a sum of risk contributions associated with individual obligors or transactions. For some standard measures of risk — including value-at-risk and expected shortfall — the total risk can be usefully decomposed into a sum of marginal risk contributions from individual obligors. Each marginal risk contribution is the condit...
متن کاملMixing exact and importance sampling propagation algorithms in dependence graphs
In this paper a new algorithm for the propagation of probabilities in junction trees is presented. It is based on an hybrid methodology. Given a junction tree, some of the nodes carry out and exact calculation, and the other an approximation by Monte-Carlo methods. A general class of importance sampling algorithms is used for the Monte-Carlo estimation. The basic algorithm and some variations o...
متن کاملA framework for adaptive Monte Carlo procedures
Adaptive Monte Carlo methods are recent variance reduction techniques. In this work, we propose a mathematical setting which greatly relaxes the assumptions needed by for the adaptive importance sampling techniques presented in [24, 23, 1, 2]. We establish the convergence and asymptotic normality of the adaptive Monte Carlo estimator under local assumptions which are easily verifiable in practi...
متن کاملCombination of Approximation and Simulation Approaches for Distribution Functions in Stochastic Networks
This paper deals with the fundamental problem of estimating the distribution function (df) of the duration of the longest path in the stochastic activity network such as PERT network. First a technique is introduced to reduce variance in Conditional Monte Carlo Sampling (CMCS). Second, based on this technique a new procedure is developed for CMCS. Third, a combined approach of simulation and ap...
متن کاملVariance Reduction Techniques for Estimating Value-at-Risk
T paper describes, analyzes and evaluates an algorithm for estimating portfolio loss probabilities using Monte Carlo simulation. Obtaining accurate estimates of such loss probabilities is essential to calculating value-at-risk, which is a quantile of the loss distribution. The method employs a quadratic (’’delta-gamma’’) approximation to the change in portfolio value to guide the selection of e...
