Abstract

In the next few chapters, we study some efficient numerical methods for the valuation of large basket credit derivatives. While the approaches are presented in the Marshall-Olkin copula model, most of the numerical techniques are generic and could be used with other copulas as well. The methods presented span a large spectrum of applied mathematics: Fourier transforms, changes of probability measure, numerical stable schemes, high-dimensional Sobol integration, recursive convolution algorithms.
