S ep 2 00 8 Graphical Models for Correlated Defaults
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple graphical model for correlated defaults is proposed, with explicit formulas for the loss distribution. Algebraic geometry techniques are employed to show that this model is well posed for default dependence: it represents any given marginal distribution for single firms and pairwise correlation matrix. These techniques also provide a calibration algorithm based on maximum likelihood estimation. Finally, the model is compared with standard normal copula model in terms of tails of the loss distribution and implied correlation smile.

The formation of scalar condensates and dynamical symmetry breaking in the U (n) four-fermion models (for n = 2, 3) with two coupling constants has been studied by the functional integration method. The bosonization procedures of the models under consideration are performed in one loop approximation. The propagators of fermions, collective Bose-fields (bound states of fermions), as well as the ...
متن کاملVariational Approximations for Probabilistic Graphical Models
Graphical models are a framework that allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge in a convenient manner. These models are commonly used in a variety of fields, and were found useful in many applications. The computations required in some applications of interest are demanding or even infeasible, and existing approximations are not always sufficient. The focus of this thesis is the developm...

A new class of A (1) n integrable lattice models is presented. These are interaction-round-a-face models based on fundamental nimrep graphs associated with the A (1) n conjugate modular invariants, there being a model for each value of the rank and level. The Boltzmann weights are parameterized by elliptic theta functions and satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation for any fixed value of the elliptic ...

The supernovae Ia data are used to analyze two general exact solutions for quintessence models. The best fit values for Ω m0 are smaller than in the Λ-term model, but still acceptable. With present-day data, it is not possible to discriminate among the various situations.
