Hands-on Training

Live Zoom Master Class: Machine Learning for PDs for Economic Shocks - Zoom Masterclass in Python | 26 - 29 February 2024

• Include the impact of income, expense and climate shocks into credit risk models
  
• Crisis PDs and stress testing
• Communication strategies
• User interfaces
• Demystify machine learning techniques and learn how to successfully apply them for credit risk prediction using real data

Please bring your Python-enabled laptops. Codes will be provided in electronic form. No prior Python skills required

Outcomes: after completion of the Masterclass, you will:

• Be able to build your own credit risk models in Python from real world credit data
• Have a good understanding of current challenges in the credit risk industry
• Understand merits and pitfalls of various approaches
• Learning by programming
• Discussions and networking with other analysts in small groups
• Receive a confirmation of 12 hours of continuing professional development

...and much more using using REAL mortgage data, over 1,500 lines of code and documentation...

In-house trainings and university teaching support on demand.

Comments by recent participants:

"I found the Credit Risk Analytics course run by Dr Harry Scheule highly informative, practical, and interesting.  The course is structured to suit participants with little prior experience in credit risk modelling while accommodating needs of professionals who want to expand their understanding in the application of credit risk models.  All example models in the course are run by using real-life mortgage and corporate loan data to be relevant.  As an added bonus, participants are provided with Python, SAS and R codes for a range of credit risk models that can be used, with some tweaks as necessary, for estimating probabilities of default and loss given default, stress testing, and IFRS 9 provisioning after completing the course."

"I attended this workshop in Sydney in March. It is now coming to other locations!  It is extremely useful if you are modeling PD-LGD-EAD for stress-testing, Basel II/Basel III/CCAR/CECL/IFRS9 with a lot of hands-on examples in Python, SAS and R. It is bound to be of benefit to you whether you are a beginner or a seasoned credit risk modeler."
