  1. Credit Instruments, PD/LGD/EAD, and Rating Migration

    Separate default probability, loss severity and exposure.

  2. Conditional Expectation

    Read conditional default and exposure quantities.

  3. Random Variables and Distributions

    Represent losses as a distribution rather than one forecast.

  4. Expected Shortfall and Other Tail Risk Measures

    Distinguish a loss quantile from the average loss in the tail.

Go further

  1. Threshold Models and the Gaussian Copula for Portfolio Default

    Study dependence between defaults.

  2. CVA and DVA

    Connect exposure and counterparty losses to valuation adjustments.

  3. VaR Estimation in Practice: Variance-Covariance, Historical Simulation, Monte Carlo
