We summarize the results of an experimental performance evaluation of using an empirical histogram to approximate the steady-state distribution of the underlying stochastic proces...
Staffing decisions in a consumer credit origination environment have a significant impact on the financial institution's costs as well as customer service levels. Staff resou...
Mortgage-Backed-Securities (MBS), as the largest investment class of fixed income securities, have always been hard to price. Because of the following reasons, normal numerical me...
We describe a different approach to using XML to support the simulation modeling of supply chains. Instead of using XML to specify the simulation constructs, as most previous appr...

Determination of credit portfolio loss distributions is essential for the valuation and risk management of multiname credit derivatives such as CDOs. The default time model has re...
Credit risk analysis for portfolios containing CDO tranches is a challenging task for risk managers. We propose here a basis function approach for CDO tranche valuation and portfo...
