losses depend in a mul iplica i e way on he P obabili y o De aul (PD), on he Exposu e a De aul
(EAD) and on he Loss Gi en De aul (LGD).
B oadly speaking, c edi isk models can be classi ied in o wo ypes based on he de ini ion o c edi

As men ioned be o e, he mo gage loans p o ided by Fannie May o he i s wo qua e s o 2008-
13 we e used in o de o s udy he ansi ion p obabili ies be ween s a es, h ough a mul i-s a e
Ma ko model. Since he e a e a ia ions in hese kind o models (as illus a ed in he e iew
li e a u e chap e ), an analysis o he a iables p o ided by Fannie May was necessa y, as well as
some ea men o he in o ma ion p io o he implemen a ion o he model, al eady desc ibed
p e iously.
The ollowing a iables o he da ase we e used:
1) LOAN_ID: iden i ie o he con ac ;
2) LOAN_AGE: li e pe iod, in mon hs, o he c edi mo gages;
3) DELQ_STAT: s a e o a con ac ;
4) ZB_CODE (ze o balanced code): a code indica ing he eason he loan's balance was educed o
ze o o expe ienced a c edi e en . The possible codes7 a e:
• 01 = P epaid o ma u ed;
• 03 = Sho sale, hi d pa y sales and o he o eclosu e al e na i es;
• 06 = Repu chased;
• 09 = REO disposi ion o deed-in-lieu.
Th ough he analysis o he a iable “LOAN_AGE” i was iden i ied ha some con ac s p esen ed
incomple e his o ical in o ma ion, and will as a esul no be eligible o en e he model. Also, he e
was a conce n ha some con ac s could no ha e enough his o ical in o ma ion. Based on he
me hodology used in c edi sco ing models, whe e he classi ica ion o an indi idual as “good” o
“bad” is obse ed du ing a ce ain pe iod o ime, o he s udy a hand i was de e mined ha
con ac s p esen ing less han 128 mon hs o his o ical in o ma ion would be excluded. Addi ionally,
he e we e con ac s whe e a iable “LOAN AGE” was se o minus one. Since he e was no e idence
abou he eal ini ial da e o hese con ac s, hey we e excluded om he inal da a se in o de o
ensu e mo e eliable esul s.
Wi h espec o he a iable “DELQ_STAT”, we concluded ha some con ac s ha e ansi ions
be ween s a es, namely om one mon h o he nex , highe han 30 days ( o ins ance, a con ac in
he p esen mon h has 30 days pas due and in he ollowing mon h p esen s 120 days pas due).
This a iable, o iginally, was ep esen ed by 10 s a es, om he s a e 0 (cu en o less han 30 days
pas due), o s a e 9 (30 o +270 days pas due). The o he s a es we e ep esen ed by in e als o 30
days pas due (s a e 1, om 30 o 59, and so on). Fo his wo k we choose o modi y he a iable and
de ine he s a e 1 as ”cu en o less han 30 days pas due” and agg ega e he emaining s a es in o
jus one, namely s a e 2. Also, i was no ed ha in some ins ances he a iable assumed a alue “X”
