Semi-analytic pricing formulas for basket credit-linked notes with and without counterparty risks

open access: yesSystems Science & Control Engineering, 2020
This paper discusses the pricing of basket credit linked notes (BCLN) under the reduced model. Three types of BCLNs are discussed: the first, the second and the mth-to-default BCLNs with and without counterparty risks.

Variational Estimation for Multidimensional Generalized Partial Credit Model

open access: yesPsychometrika
Multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models have generated increasing interest in the psychometrics literature. Efficient approaches for estimating MIRT models with dichotomous responses have been developed, but constructing an equally efficient and robust algorithm for polytomous models has received limited attention. To address this gap, this

Behavioral Coping With Food Price Inflation: Patterns Among U.S. Households

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent food price inflation has placed substantial pressure on household budgets, food security, and mental well‐being. Using Household Pulse Survey data, we combine k‐modes clustering and Double Machine Learning to identify distinct household coping groups and examine differences in how households respond to rising food prices across groups ...

The Ordered artition Model: An Extension of the Partial Credit Model [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Psychological Measurement, 1992
An item response model, called the ordered.partition model, is designed for a measurement context in which the categories of response to an item cannot be completely ordered. For example, two different solution strategies may lead to an equivalent degree of success because both strategies may result in the same score, but an examiner may want to ...

Actuarial Applications and Estimation of Extended CreditRisk+

open access: yesRisks, 2017
We introduce an additive stochastic mortality model which allows joint modelling and forecasting of underlying death causes. Parameter families for mortality trends can be chosen freely. As model settings become high dimensional, Markov chain Monte Carlo
