Reliability has been largely applied to industrial systems in order to study the various possibilities of systems … minimal paths leading to any system’s fault allows for a better control of systems’ safety. To this end, reliability is … reliability, which matches default risk analysis in a simple framework. Our extension includes other distributions of probability …

We present a model of inductive inference that includes, as special cases, Bayesian reasoning, case-based reasoning, and rule-based reasoning. This unified framework allows us to examine, positively or normatively, how the various modes of inductive inference can be combined and how their...

This paper examines circumstances under which subjectivity enhances the effectiveness of inductive reasoning. We consider agents facing a data generating process who are characterized by inference rules that may be purely objective (or data-based) or may incorporate subjective considerations....

This paper explores the foundations and properties of the quantal response statistical equilibrium (QRSE) model developed by Scharfenaker and Foley (2017). The QRSE model provides a behavioral foundation for the formation of aggregate economic outcomes in social systems characterized by negative...

Decision problems in environments with iid shocks are typically modeled as involving payoffs that follow a martingale process. The paper formalizes entrepreneurial skills as the ability to design optimal investment strategies for problems, in which payoffs do not follow a martingale. It develops...

The purpose of this paper is to measure the potential impact of business-sector concentration on economic capital for loan portfolios and to explore a tractable model for its measurement. The empirical part evaluates the increase in economic capital in a multi-factor asset value model for...

We argue that the true transition-to-default dynamic in banks' credit portfolios can only be fully described with a multiple-spell discrete-time hazard model. This paper develops such a model for default prediction. The model permits the use of all data available to the bank or to the bank...

In this paper, the standardized approach will be analyzed and studied. At first, an analysis will be provided to better understand why CCR became so important, what are its characteristics, etc…. Then a discussion around the CVA definition from the regulator's perspective will be presented....

We introduce a methodology from geophysics, Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), to obtain stable, noise-cleaned correlations for long term risk (e.g. counterparty risk). SSA is applied to time series to smooth them in a robust manner. The SSA-smoothed time series are then used to obtain the...
