<r-sig-finance at stat.math.ethz.ch> I know that your time is valuable, therefore I will be brief. I am looking for some packages that it has implemented the CreditRisk+ model in R by any of its variants (FFT, the Saddle Point approximation and the Panjer recursion), for one or several sectors.
Have you looked at the 'creditmetrics' package? creditrisk+ and creditmetrics have some very similar model capabilities. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/CreditMetrics/index.html Also, I assume you're referring to the CSFB CreditRisk+ product, and the models defined here: http://www.csfb.com/institutional/research/assets/creditrisk.pdf R has the function 'fft' for Fast Fourier Transform The 'boot' package provides several saddle point distribution functions. Several methods proposed by Panjer are available in the R package 'actuar' Please share your results with this list as you experiment with these various functions. Regards, - Brian
