合成型擔保債權憑證之評價-考量異質分配與隨機風險因子承載係數張立民 Unknown Date (has links)
本文以Hull and White(2004)與Anderson and Sidenius(2004)之理論模型為基礎,在單因子連繫結構模型(one-factor copula model)下,探討風險因子改變其分配之假設或考慮隨機風險因子承載係數(random factor loading)時,對擔保債權憑證之損失分配乃至於各分券信用價差所造成之影響。此外,文中亦將模型運用於實際市場資料上,對兩組Dow Jones iTraxx EUR 五年期之指數型擔保債權憑證(index tranches)與一組Dow Jones CDX NA IG指數型擔保債權憑證進行評價與分析。我們發現在三組資料下,使用double t-distribution 連繫結構模型(double t-distribution copula model)與隨機風險因子承載係數模型(random factor loading model)皆能比使用高斯連繫結構模型(Gaussian copula model)更接近市場上之報價。最後,在評價指數型擔保債權憑證外,本研究亦計算各分券之隱含違約相關係數(implied correlation)與基準違約相關係數(base correlation)。

An Analysis of Factor Extraction Strategies: A Comparison of the Relative Strengths of Principal Axis, Ordinary Least Squares, and Maximum Likelihood in Research Contexts that Include both Categorical and Continuous VariablesCoughlin, Kevin Barry 01 January 2013 (has links)
This study is intended to provide researchers with empirically derived guidelines for conducting factor analytic studies in research contexts that include dichotomous and continuous levels of measurement. This study is based on the hypotheses that ordinary least squares (OLS) factor analysis will yield more accurate parameter estimates than maximum likelihood (ML) and principal axis factor anlaysis (PAF); the level of improvement in estimates will be related to the proportion of observed variables that are dichotomized and the strength of communalities within the data sets.
To achieve this study's objective, maximum likelihood, ordinary least squares, and principal axis factor extraction models were subjected to various research contexts. A Monte Carlo method was used to simulate data under 540 different conditions; specifically, this study is a four (sample size) by three (number of variables) by three (initial communality levels) by three (number of common factors) by five (ratios of categorical to continuous variables) design. Factor loading matrices derived through the tested factor extraction methods were evaluated through four measures of factor pattern agreement and three measures of congruence.
To varying degrees, all of the design factors, as main effects, yielded significant differences in measures of factor loading sensitivity, agreement between sample and population, and congruence. However, in all cases, the main effects were components of interactions that yielded differences in values of these measures that were at least medium in effect size. The number of factors imbedded in the population was a component in six interactions that resulted in medium effect size differences in measures of agreement between population and sample factor loading matrices. of factor loading sensitivity, general pattern agreement, per element agreement, congruence, factor score correlations, and factor loading bias; in terms of the number of interactions that yielded at least medium effect size differences in measures of sensitivity, agreement, and congruence. The number of factors design factor exerted a larger influence than any of the other design factors. The level of communality interacted with the number of factors, number of observed variables, and sample size main effects to yield at least medium effect size differences in factor loading sensitivity, general pattern agreement, per element agreement, congruence, factor score correlations, factor loading bias, and RMSE; in terms of the number of factors that included communality as a component, this design factor exerted the second largest amount of influence on the measures of sensitivity, agreement, and congruence. The level of dichotomization, sample size, and number of observed variables were included in smaller numbers of interactions; however, these interactions yielded differences in all of the outcome variables that were at least medium in effect size.
Across the majority of interactions among the manipulated research contexts, the ordinary least squares factor extraction method yielded factor loading matrices that were in better agreement with the population than either the maximum likelihood or the principal axis methods. In three of the four measures of congruence, the ordinary least squares method yielded factor loading matrices that exhibited less bias and error than the other two tested factor extraction methods. In general, the ordinary least squares method yielded factor loading matrices that correlated more strongly with the population than either of the other two tested methods.
The suggested use of ordinary least squares factor analytic techniques represents the major, empirically derived recommendation derived from the results of this study. In all tested conditions, the ordinary least squares factor extraction method identified common factors with a high degree of efficacy. Suggested studies for future would incorporate the limiting constraints associated with this dissertation into methodological studies to extend the generalizability of conclusions and recommendations into areas that are beyond the scope of this dissertation.

Pricing Basket of Credit Default Swaps and Collateralised Debt Obligation by Lévy Linearly Correlated, Stochastically Correlated, and Randomly Loaded Factor Copula Models and Evaluated by the Fast and Very Fast Fourier TransformFadel, Sayed M. January 2010 (has links)
In the last decade, a considerable growth has been added to the volume of the credit risk
derivatives market. This growth has been followed by the current financial market
turbulence. These two periods have outlined how significant and important are the
credit derivatives market and its products. Modelling-wise, this growth has parallelised
by more complicated and assembled credit derivatives products such as mth to default
Credit Default Swaps (CDS), m out of n (CDS) and collateralised debt obligation
(CDO).
In this thesis, the Lévy process has been proposed to generalise and overcome the Credit
Risk derivatives standard pricing model's limitations, i.e. Gaussian Factor Copula
Model. One of the most important drawbacks is that it has a lack of tail dependence or,
in other words, it needs more skewed correlation. However, by the Lévy Factor Copula
Model, the microscopic approach of exploring this factor copula models has been
developed and standardised to incorporate an endless number of distribution alternatives
those admits the Lévy process. Since the Lévy process could include a variety of
processes structural assumptions from pure jumps to continuous stochastic, then those
distributions who admit this process could represent asymmetry and fat tails as they
could characterise symmetry and normal tails. As a consequence they could capture
both high and low events¿ probabilities.
Subsequently, other techniques those could enhance the skewness of its correlation and
be incorporated within the Lévy Factor Copula Model has been proposed, i.e. the
'Stochastic Correlated Lévy Factor Copula Model' and 'Lévy Random Factor Loading
Copula Model'. Then the Lévy process has been applied through a number of proposed
Pricing Basket CDS&CDO by Lévy Factor Copula and its skewed versions and evaluated by V-FFT limiting and mixture cases of the Lévy Skew Alpha-Stable distribution and Generalized
Hyperbolic distribution.
Numerically, the characteristic functions of the mth to default CDS's and
(n/m) th to
default CDS's number of defaults, the CDO's cumulative loss, and loss given default
are evaluated by semi-explicit techniques, i.e. via the DFT's Fast form (FFT) and the
proposed Very Fast form (VFFT). This technique through its fast and very fast forms
reduce the computational complexity from O(N2) to, respectively, O(N log2 N ) and
O(N ).

考量隨機回復率與風險因子承載係數之CDO評價模型 / Pricing CDO with random recovery rate and random factor loading李慎, Li, Shen Unknown Date (has links)
本研究以Amraoui & Hitier (2008)隨機回復率模型(BNP model)以及Andersen and Sidenius(2004)隨機風險因子承載係數模型(RFL model)為基礎,進行對分劵信用價差、債劵群組累積損失機率分配,以及對基準違約相關係數的影響等分析。我們發現當回復率改成動態後可以反映更多系統風險,權益分劵信用價差絕大多數都會下降。在累積損失機率分配方面加入BNP後變為較平滑;改用RFL則會使機率分配在小額損失處又產生一次起伏;同時考量BNP與RFL會使小額損失發生機率減少、極端損失機率增加。實作三組市場資料時,發現不管市場違約機率高或低,共同考慮BNP與RFL的模型在四個模型中是最適合擬和市價的,顯示在市價的校準上有更多彈性,特別是在承擔名目本金60~100%先償分劵的校準上只有共同考慮BNP與RFL的模型能發揮功效。
