The distribution of possible future losses for a portfolio of credit risky corporate assets, such as bonds or loans, shows strongly asymmetric behavior and a fat tail as the conse...
Credit risk analysis for portfolios containing CDO tranches is a challenging task for risk managers. We propose here a basis function approach for CDO tranche valuation and portfo...

Determination of credit portfolio loss distributions is essential for the valuation and risk management of multiname credit derivatives such as CDOs. The default time model has re...
