We use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to draw model coefficients to generate LGD distributions. We find that applying this Bayesian method on a sophisticated model that accounts for the bi-modal distribution of the LGDs, such as the zero-one-inflated beta (ZOIB) model, can generate LGD...
