Abstract [en]

In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology to model rating transitions with a stochastic process. To introduce stochastic processes, whose values are valid rating matrices, we noticed the geometric properties of stochastic matrices and its link to matrix Lie groups. We give a gentle introduction to this topic and demonstrate how Itô-SDEs in R will generate the desired model for rating transitions. To calibrate the rating model to historical data, we use a Deep-Neural-Network (DNN) called TimeGAN to learn the features of a time series of historical rating matrices. Then, we use this DNN to generate synthetic rating transition matrices. Afterwards, we fit the moments of the generated rating matrices and the rating process at specific time points, which results in a good fit. After calibration, we discuss the quality of the calibrated rating transition process by examining some properties that a time series of rating matrices should satisfy, and we will see that this geometric approach works very well.
