Credit Risk Modeling
Business Knowledge Series Curso
In this course, students learn how to develop credit risk models in the context of the Basel guidelines. The course provides a sound mix of both theoretical and technical insights, as well as practical implementation details. These are illustrated by several real-life case studies and exercises.
Aprenderá a
- develop probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and exposure at default (EAD) models
- validate, backtest, and benchmark credit risk models
- stress test credit risk models
- develop credit risk models for low default portfolios
- use new and advanced techniques for improved credit risk modeling.
Quién debe atender Anyone who is involved in building credit risk models or is responsible for monitoring the behavior and performance of credit risk models
Before attending this course, you should have business expertise in credit risk and a basic understanding of statistical classification methods. Previous SAS software and SAS Enterprise Miner experience is helpful but not necessary.
This course addresses SAS Enterprise Miner software.
