Abstract

We introduce ISCOS, a cross-entropy importance-sampling calibration method for rare credit-portfolio losses. We derive Gaussian and Gaussian--inverse-Gamma proposals and analyse the propagation of finite-COS approximation errors to the fitted parameters. Numerical experiments for Gaussian and Student t-copula credit portfolios show the efficiency of this method.
