Overview of Basel II Reports

Basel II reports in SAS Model Manager provide several statistical measures and tests to validate stability, performance, and calibration using Loss Given Default (LGD) and Probability of Default (PD) models.
Model stability measures
The model stability measures track the change in distribution of the modeling data and the scoring data.
Model performance measures
The model performance measures report this information:
  • The model’s ability to discriminate between accounts that have defaulted and those that have not defaulted. The score difference between the accounts that default and those that do not helps determine the cut-off score, which is used to predict whether a credit exposure is a default.
  • The relationship between the actual default probability and the predicted probability. This information is used to understand a model’s performance over a period of time.
Model calibration measures
The model calibration measures check the accuracy of the LGD and PD models by comparing the correct quantification of the risk components with the available standards.
For a description of the statistical measures, see Statistical Measures Used in Basel II Reports in SAS Model Manager: User's Guide.
The tutorial provides examples and step-by-step directions for importing LGD and PD models and creating Basel II reports.
