GUNTER LOFFLER is professor of finance at the University of Ulm in Germany. His current research interests are on credit risk and empirical finance. Previously, Gunter was assistant professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, and served as an internal consultant in the asset management division of Commerzbank. His Ph.D. in finance is from the University of Mannheim. Gunter has studied at Heidelberg and Cambridge Universities. PETER N. POSCH is PhD student in finance at the chair of Gunter Loffler. His current research focus is on credit risk and financial econometrics. Peter studied philosophy and economics and holds a Diplom, M.Sc. equivalent, in economics from the University of Bonn.

Computing statistics after model estimation. Interpreting regression statistics. Prediction and scenario analysis. Treating outliers in input variables. Choosing the functional relationship between the score and explanatory variables. Concluding remarks. Appendix. Notes and literature. 2 The Structural Approach to Default Prediction and Valuation. Default and valuation in a structural model. Implementing the Merton model with a one-year horizon. The iterative approach. A solution using equity values and equity volatilities. Comparing different approaches. Implementing the Merton model with a T-year horizon. Credit spreads. Notes and literature. 3 Transition Matrices. Cohort approach. Multi-period transitions. Hazard rate approach. Obtaining a generator matrix from a given transition matrix. Confidence intervals with the Binomial distribution. Bootstrapped confidence intervals for the hazard approach. Notes and literature. Appendix. 4 Prediction of Default and Transition Rates. Candidate variables for prediction. Predicting investment-grade default rates with linear regression. Predicting investment-grade default rates with Poisson regression. Backtesting the prediction models. Predicting transition matrices. Adjusting transition matrices.
