The conditional PD at confidence q: N((G(pd) + sqrt(rho) G(q)) / sqrt(1 - rho)). With q = 0.999 and the regulatory correlation it is the PD inside the risk-weight function, so that the capital requirement of a retail exposure is lgd * (scr_pd_stress(pd, r, 0.999) - pd). Used by the sensitivity grid of scr_capital() and by the scenario engine of scr_ecl(). Arguments are recycled.

Usage

scr_pd_stress(pd, rho, q)

Arguments

pd

Numeric vector of unconditional PDs.

rho

Asset correlation in [0, 1).

q

Confidence level in (0, 1); 0.5 returns the median-year PD.

Value

A numeric vector of conditional PDs.
