Credit Risk Modeling using SAS

( Duration: 4 Days )

This Credit Risk Modeling using SAS training course provides skills to develop credit risk models in the context of the recent Basel II and Basel III guidelines.

By attending Credit Risk Modeling using SAS workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Develop probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and exposure at default (EAD) models
  • Validate, backtest, and benchmark credit risk models
  • Stress test credit risk models
  • Develop credit risk models for low default portfolios
  • Use new and advanced techniques for improved credit risk modeling

  • Business expertise in credit risk and a basic understanding of statistical classification methods.
  • Previous SAS software and SAS Enterprise Miner experience is helpful but not necessary.

This Credit Risk Modeling using SAS class is designed for Anyone who is involved in building credit risk models, or is responsible for monitoring the behavior and performance of credit risk models.
