## Detailed Description

Credit Basket.

  A basket is a collection of credit names, represented by a unique identifier (a text string), associated notional amounts, a pool and tranche information. The pool is a map of "names" to issuers. The Basket structure is motivated by CDO squared instruments containing various underlying inner CDOs which can be represented by respective baskets including their tranche structure. The role of the Pool is providing a unique list of relevant issuers while names may appear multiple times across different baskets (overlap).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## Basket()

Basket | ( | const Date & | refDate,
|  | const std::vector< std::string > & | names,
|  | const std::vector< Real > & | notionals,
|  | const boost::shared_ptr< Pool > | pool,
|  | Real | attachmentRatio = `0.0`,
|  | Real | detachmentRatio = `1.0`,
|  | const boost::shared_ptr< Claim > & | claim = `boost::shared_ptr< Claim >(new FaceValueClaim())`
| ) |  |

Constructs a basket of simple collection of constant notional positions subject to default risk only.

The refDate parameter is the basket inception date, that is, the date at which defaultable events are relevant. (There are no constraints on forward baskets but models assigned should be consistent.)

## Member Function Documentation

## update()

void update | ( |  | ) |

virtual

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Implements Observer.

## refDate()

const Date& refDate | ( |  | ) | const

Basket inception date.

Loss Given Default for all issuers/notionals based on expected recovery rates for the respective issuers.

## attachmentRatio()

Real attachmentRatio | ( |  | ) | const

Attachment point expressed as a fraction of the total inception notional.

## probabilities()

Disposable<std::vector<Probability> > probabilities | ( | const Date & | d | ) | const

Vector of cumulative default probability to date d for all issuers in the basket.

## settledLoss()

Real settledLoss | ( |  | ) | const

Realized basket losses between the reference date and the calculation date, taking the actual recovery rates of loss events into account. Only default events that have settled (have a realized RR) are accounted for. For contingent losses after a default you need to compute the losses through a DefaultLossModel

Optionally one can pass a date in the future and that will collect events stored in the issuers list. This shows the effect of 'programmed' (after today's) events on top of past ones. The intention is to be used in risk analysis (jump to default, etc).

## cumulatedLoss()

Real cumulatedLoss | ( |  | ) | const

Actual basket losses between the reference date and the calculation date, taking the actual recovery rates of loss events into account. If the event has not settled yet a model driven recovery is used.

Returns the realized losses in this portfolio since the portfolio default reference date. This method relies on an implementation of the loss given default since the events have not necessarily settled.

## remainingNotional()

Real remainingNotional | ( |  | ) | const

Remaining full basket (untranched) notional after settled losses between the reference date and the given date. The full notional for defaulted names is subracted, recovery ignored.

## remainingNotionals()

const std::vector< Real > & remainingNotionals | ( |  | ) | const

Vector of surviving notionals after settled losses between the reference date and the given date, recovery ignored.

## remainingNames()

const std::vector< std::string > & remainingNames | ( |  | ) | const

Vector of surviving issuers after defaults between the reference basket date and the given (or evaluation) date.

## remainingDefaultKeys()

const std::vector< DefaultProbKey > & remainingDefaultKeys | ( |  | ) | const

Default keys of non defaulted counterparties

## remainingProbabilities()

Disposable<std::vector<Probability> > remainingProbabilities | ( | const Date & | d | ) | const

Vector of cumulative default probability to date d for all issuers still (at the evaluation date) alive in the basket.

## remainingAttachmentAmount()

Real remainingAttachmentAmount | ( |  | ) | const

Attachment amount of the equivalent (after defaults) remaining basket The remaining attachment amount is RAA = max (0, attachmentAmount - cumulatedLoss())

The remaining attachment ratio is then RAR = RAA / remainingNotional()

## remainingDetachmentAmount()

Real remainingDetachmentAmount | ( |  | ) | const

Detachment amount of the equivalent remaining basket. The remaining detachment amount is RDA = max (0, detachmentAmount - cumulatedLoss())

The remaining detachment ratio is then RDR = RDA / remainingNotional()

## remainingTrancheNotional()

Real remainingTrancheNotional | ( | const Date & | endDate | ) | const

Expected basket tranched notional on the requested date according to the basket model. Model should have been assigned.

## probOverLoss()

Probability probOverLoss | ( | const Date & | d,
|  | Real | lossFraction
| ) |  | const

The lossFraction is the fraction of losses expressed in inception (no losses) tranche units (e.g. 'attach level'=0%, 'detach level'=100%)

## expectedShortfall()

Real expectedShortfall | ( | const Date & | d,
|  | Probability | prob
| ) |  | const

ESF

## lossDistribution()

Disposable<std::map<Real, Probability> > lossDistribution | ( | const Date & |  | ) | const

Full loss distribution

## probsBeingNthEvent()

std::vector<Probability> probsBeingNthEvent | ( | Size | n,
|  | const Date & | d
| ) |  | const

Probability vector that each of the remaining live names (at eval date) is the n-th default by date d.

The n parameter is the internal index to the name; it should be alive at the evaluation date.

------—TO DO: Implement with a string passed-------------------— ------—TO DO: Perform check the name is alive------------------—

## probAtLeastNEvents()

Probability probAtLeastNEvents | ( | Size | n,
|  | const Date & | d
| ) |  | const

Returns the probaility of having a given or larger number of defaults in the basket portfolio at a given time.

## recoveryRate()

Real recoveryRate | ( | const Date & | d,
|  | Size | iName
| ) |  | const

Expected recovery rate of the underlying position as a fraction of its exposure value at date d given it has defaulted on that date. NOTICE THE ARG IS THE CTPTY....SHOULDNT IT BE THE POSITION/INSTRUMENT?????<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
