Description
Summary:An Operational risk is a type of risk which is regulated in Basel II Accord. The difficulty in predicting this risk is mainly because its characteristics, e.g. ”low frequency but high severity” which can cause systemic hazard in financial institution. Therefore, the accuracy in determinating the VaR (Value-at-Risk) is important. In this final project, Bayesian Inference will be incorporated with LDA (Loss Distribution Approach) and Montecarlo Simulation to model the estimation of VaR. Bayesian Inference is specific inference’s technique where is user can update the analysis when an expert opinion or the data become available. So the weakness of LDA implementation which requires a lot of historical data could be solved with giving an expert justification which is relevant to the data.
