The distribution of possible future losses for a portfolio of credit risky corporate assets, such as bonds or loans, shows strongly asymmetric behavior and a fat tail as the conse...
Background: The Monte Carlo simulation of sequence evolution is routinely used to assess the performance of phylogenetic inference methods and sequence alignment algorithms. Progr...
