The Bioconductor project is an initiative for the collaborative creation of the extensible software for computational biology and bioinformatics. The goals of the project include: fostering collaborative development and widespread use of innovative software, reducing barriers to entry into...

Scatterplot3d is an R package for the visualization of multivariate data in a three dimensional space. R is a "language for data analysis and graphics". In this paper we discuss the features of the package. It is designed by exclusively making use of already existing functions of R and its...

The goal of this dissertation is to explore nested Archimedean copulas. In particular, efficient sampling algorithms, especially suited for large dimensions, are presented. As an application, a pricing model for collateralized debt obligations (CDOsʺ) is developed. Copulas are distribution...

After a brief overview of aspects of computational risk management, the implementation of the rearrangement algorithm in R is considered as an example from computational risk management practice. This algorithm is used to compute the largest quantile (worst value-at-risk) of the sum of the...

This paper presents an intellectual exchange with ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, about correlation pitfalls in risk management. The exchange takes place in the form of a conversation that provides ChatGPT with context. The purpose of this conversation is to evaluate ChatGPT's...

The purpose and novelty of this article is to investigate the extent to which artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT can grasp concepts from quantitative risk management. To this end, we enter a scholarly discussion with ChatGPT in the form of questions and answers, and analyze the responses....

Abstract Numerical challenges inherent in algorithms for computing worst Value-at-Risk in homogeneous portfolios are identified and solutions as well as words of warning concerning their implementation are provided. Furthermore, both conceptual and computational improvements to the Rearrangement...

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for estimating systemic risk measures and risk allocations based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. We consider a class of allocations whose jth component can be written as some risk measure of the jth conditional marginal loss distribution...
