Explicit Computations for a Filtering Problem with Point Process Observations with Applications to Credit Risk

چکیده
We consider the intensity-based approach for the modeling of default times of one or more companies. In this approach the default times are defined as the jump times of a Cox process, which is a Poisson process conditional on the realization of its intensity. We assume that the intensity follows the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model. This model allows one to calculate survival probabilities and prices of defaultable bonds explicitly. In this paper we assume that the Brownian motion, that drives the intensity, is not observed. Using filtering theory for point process observations, we are able to derive dynamics for the intensity and its moment generating function, given the observations of the Cox process. A transformation of the dynamics of the conditional moment generating function allows us to solve the filtering problem, between the jumps of the Cox process, as well as at the jumps. Assuming that the initial distribution of the intensity is of the Gamma type, we obtain an explicit solution to the filtering problem for all t > 0. We conclude the paper with the observation that the resulting conditional moment generating function at time t, after Nt jumps, corresponds to a mixture of Nt + 1 Gamma distributions. keywords: Credit Risk, Affine Model, Filtering, Point Process.

A descent method for explicit computations on curves
It is shown that the knowledge of a surjective morphism $Xto Y$ of complex curves can be effectively used to make explicit calculations. The method is demonstrated by the calculation of $j(ntau)$ (for some small $n$) in terms of $j(tau)$ for the elliptic curve with period lattice $(1,tau)$, the period matrix for the Jacobian of a family of genus-$2$ curves complementing the classi...

Banks as financial institutions must estimate the credit risk of their debtors. This is the basis of pricing a loan, determining appropriate interest rates and determining the mortgage required to each borrower. Since the continuity of bank activities largely depends on the amount of credit losses in a particular period, banks should consider the credit quality of their loan portfolio as a co...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...

Quasi-Static Numerical Simulation of Missile Staging
In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
