numeric vector of loss levels between 0 and 1

alpha


Calculate contributions to the expected shortfall on portfolio level for each
portfolio position. In case of a simulative model, loss scenarios above a
predefined threshold (<code>loss.thr</code>) are analyzed in order to calculate the
risk contributions. If <code>loss.thr</code> is too high, calculation may be not
possible (depending on value of <code>alpha</code>). 


methods

Analyze the default risk of credit portfolios. Commonly known models,
like CreditRisk+ or the CreditMetrics model are implemented in their very basic settings.
The portfolio loss distribution can be achieved either by simulation or analytically
in case of the classic CreditRisk+ model. Models are only implemented to respect losses
caused by defaults, i.e. migration risk is not included. The package structure is kept
flexible especially with respect to distributional assumptions in order to quantify the
sensitivity of risk figures with respect to several assumptions. Therefore the package
can be used to determine the credit risk of a given portfolio as well as to quantify
model sensitivities.
