Which of the following credit risk models relies upon the analysis of credit rating migrations to assess credit risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

For EVT, we use the block maxima or the peaks-over-threshold methods. These provide us the data points that can be fitted to a GEV distribution.

Least squares and maximum likelihood are methods that are used for curve fitting, and they have a variety of applications across risk management.

The Block Maxima approach makes the most sense to me. It's like going to the gym and only counting the heaviest weights you lifted - the real extremes!

I think the Maximum likelihood approach is also valid for extreme value analysis, as it estimates the parameters of the distribution that best fits the data.
