# Risk Modeling Guide

A skill for quantitative financial risk modeling, covering Value at Risk, Expected Shortfall, credit risk, stress testing, and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Essential for financial engineering research and regulatory risk analysis.

## Market Risk: Value at Risk

### VaR Methodologies

| Method | Description | Pros | Cons |
|--------|-------------|------|------|
| Historical simulation | Replay past returns | No distributional assumption | Assumes past repeats |
| Variance-covariance | Assume normal returns | Fast, analytical | Underestimates tail risk |
| Monte Carlo simulation | Simulate from fitted model | Flexible distributions | Computationally expensive |
| Filtered historical simulation | GARCH + historical innovations | Captures volatility clustering | More complex |

### Implementation

```python
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from scipy.stats import norm, t as t_dist

def historical_var(returns: np.ndarray, confidence: float = 0.99,
                    horizon_days: int = 1) -> dict:
    """
    Compute Value at Risk using historical simulation.
    returns: array of daily log returns
    confidence: confidence level (e.g., 0.99 for 99% VaR)
    horizon_days: risk horizon in days
    """
    # Scale returns to horizon
    if horizon_days > 1:
        # Rolling sum for overlapping returns
        scaled_returns = pd.Series(returns).rolling(horizon_days).sum().dropna().values
    else:
        scaled_returns = returns

    alpha = 1 - confidence
    var = -np.percentile(scaled_returns, alpha * 100)
    es = -np.mean(scaled_returns[scaled_returns <= -var])

    return {
        "VaR": round(var, 6),
        "Expected_Shortfall": round(es, 6),
        "confidence": confidence,
        "horizon_days": horizon_days,
        "n_observations": len(scaled_returns),
    }

def parametric_var(returns: np.ndarray, confidence: float = 0.99,
                    distribution: str = "normal") -> dict:
    """
    Parametric VaR assuming normal or Student-t distribution.
    """
    mu = np.mean(returns)
    sigma = np.std(returns, ddof=1)

    if distribution == "normal":
        z = norm.ppf(1 - confidence)
        var = -(mu + sigma * z)
        # Analytical ES for normal
        es = -mu + sigma * norm.pdf(norm.ppf(1 - confidence)) / (1 - confidence)
    elif distribution == "student-t":
        # Fit Student-t
        df, loc, scale = t_dist.fit(returns)
        z = t_dist.ppf(1 - confidence, df)
        var = -(loc + scale * z)
        # ES for Student-t
        t_pdf = t_dist.pdf(t_dist.ppf(1 - confidence, df), df)
        es = -loc + scale * (t_pdf / (1 - confidence)) * ((df + z**2) / (df - 1))
    else:
        raise ValueError(f"Unknown distribution: {distribution}")

    return {
        "VaR": round(var, 6),
        "Expected_Shortfall": round(es, 6),
        "distribution": distribution,
        "mean": round(mu, 6),
        "std": round(sigma, 6),
    }
```

### Monte Carlo VaR

```python
def monte_carlo_var(returns: np.ndarray, n_simulations: int = 100000,
                     confidence: float = 0.99,
                     horizon_days: int = 10) -> dict:
    """
    Monte Carlo VaR using GBM (Geometric Brownian Motion).
    """
    mu = np.mean(returns)
    sigma = np.std(returns, ddof=1)

    # Simulate daily returns for the horizon
    rng = np.random.default_rng(42)
    simulated = rng.normal(
        mu * horizon_days,
        sigma * np.sqrt(horizon_days),
        size=n_simulations,
    )

    alpha = 1 - confidence
    var = -np.percentile(simulated, alpha * 100)
    es = -np.mean(simulated[simulated <= -var])

    return {
        "VaR": round(var, 6),
        "Expected_Shortfall": round(es, 6),
        "n_simulations": n_simulations,
        "confidence": confidence,
        "horizon_days": horizon_days,
    }
```

## Credit Risk Modeling

### Probability of Default Estimation

```python
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

def build_pd_model(features: pd.DataFrame,
                    default_flag: pd.Series) -> dict:
    """
    Build a Probability of Default (PD) model using logistic regression.
    Common features: debt-to-income, credit utilization, payment history,
    employment length, loan amount.
    """
    model = LogisticRegression(max_iter=1000, class_weight="balanced")
    model.fit(features, default_flag)

    # Coefficient interpretation
    coef_df = pd.DataFrame({
        "feature": features.columns,
        "coefficient": model.coef_[0],
        "odds_ratio": np.exp(model.coef_[0]),
    }).sort_values("coefficient", ascending=False)

    # Model discrimination
    from sklearn.metrics import roc_auc_score
    pred_proba = model.predict_proba(features)[:, 1]
    auc = roc_auc_score(default_flag, pred_proba)

    return {
        "auc": round(auc, 4),
        "coefficients": coef_df.to_dict("records"),
        "intercept": round(model.intercept_[0], 4),
    }
```

### Loss Given Default and EAD

```python
def compute_expected_loss(pd_score: float, lgd: float,
                           ead: float) -> dict:
    """
    Compute Expected Loss = PD x LGD x EAD.
    pd_score: probability of default (0-1)
    lgd: loss given default (0-1, fraction of exposure lost)
    ead: exposure at default (dollar amount)
    """
    el = pd_score * lgd * ead
    return {
        "PD": pd_score,
        "LGD": lgd,
        "EAD": ead,
        "Expected_Loss": round(el, 2),
        "Unexpected_Loss_99": round(el * 2.33 * np.sqrt(pd_score * (1 - pd_score)), 2),
    }
```

## Stress Testing

### Scenario-Based Stress Tests

```python
def run_stress_test(portfolio_returns: pd.DataFrame,

Questions

What does the Risk Modeling Guide skill do?

Is Risk Modeling Guide safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Risk Modeling Guide access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Risk Modeling Guide work with?

Its documentation mentions openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e1ba289846fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
