Credit Risk Modeling with Affine Processes
ISBN: 9788876421389 / Angielski / Miękka / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a written version of the Cattedra Galileiana lectures, presented in 2002 at the Scuola Normale in Pisa. The objective is to combine an orientation to credit-risk modeling (emphasizing the valuation of corporate debt and credit derivatives) with an introduction to the analytical tractability and richness of affine state processes. This is not a general survey of either topic, but rather is designed to introduce researchers with some background in mathematics to a useful set of modeling techniques and an interesting set of applications.

Great care was taken to fully derive what the technique of Propagation of Errors (POE) Analysis is based on. I would have loved to have this book as both an undergrad and grad student. (And as a professional scientist and engineer as well). And now this is finally available. As a student I was required to use (first order linear) POE to analyze measurement errors in my physical experiments. However it was never derived or explained. This book now derives the POE analysis. Not just to first order linear but also the correlated and second... "The Best Propagation-of-Errors Book Out There"
