Detailed Description

Abstract base class for one-factor copula models.

Reference: John Hull and Alan White, The Perfect Copula, June 2006

Let \(Q_i(t)\) be the cumulative probability of default of counterparty i before time t.

In a one-factor model, consider random variables

\[ Y_i = a_i\,M+\sqrt{1-a_i^2}\:Z_i \]

where \(M\) and \(Z_i\) have independent zero-mean unit-variance distributions and \(-1\leq a_i \leq 1\). The correlation between \(Y_i\) and \(Y_j\) is then \(a_i a_j\).

Let \(F_Y(y)\) be the cumulative distribution function of \(Y_i\). \(y\) is mapped to \(t\) such that percentiles match, i.e. \(F_Y(y)=Q_i(t)\) or \(y=F_Y^{-1}(Q_i(t))\).

Now let \(F_Z(z)\) be the cumulated distribution function of \(Z_i\). For given realization of \(M\), this determines the distribution of \(y\):

\[ Prob \,(Y_i < y|M) = F_Z \left( \frac{y-a_i\,M}{\sqrt{1-a_i^2}}\right) \qquad \mbox{or} \qquad Prob \,(t_i < t|M) = F_Z \left( \frac{F_Y^{-1}(Q_i(t))-a_i\,M} {\sqrt{1-a_i^2}} \right) \]

The distribution functions of \( M, Z_i \) are specified in derived classes. The distribution function of \( Y \) is then given by the convolution

\[ F_Y(y) = Prob\,(Y<y) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty\,\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\: D_Z(z)\,D_M(m) \quad \Theta \left(y - a\,m - \sqrt{1-a^2}\,z\right)\,dm\,dz, \qquad \Theta (x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1 & x \geq 0 \\ 0 & x < 0 \end{array}\right. \]

where \( D_Z(z) \) and \( D_M(m) \) are the probability densities of \( Z\) and \( M, \) respectively.

This convolution can also be written

\[ F(y) = Prob \,(Y < y) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty D_M(m)\,dm\: \int_{-\infty}^{g(y,a,m)} D_Z(z)\,dz, \qquad g(y,a,m) = \frac{y - a\cdot m}{\sqrt{1-a^2}}, \qquad a < 1 \]

or

\[ F(y) = Prob \,(Y < y) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty D_Z(z)\,dz\: \int_{-\infty}^{h(y,a,z)} D_M(m)\,dm, \qquad h(y,a,z) = \frac{y - \sqrt{1 - a^2}\cdot z}{a}, \qquad a > 0. \]

In general, \( F_Y(y) \) needs to be computed numerically.
