1. A method for processing data to determine the likelihood of default of an entity, the method comprising:
- obtaining a data set relating to an entity, the data set including at least a first likelihood of default indicator (LDI) value and a second LDI value;
determining a LDI rate of change, based on the first LDI value and the second LDI value, to provide a LDI slope value; and
determining the likelihood of default of the entity based on the LDI slope value and the first LDI value.

Abstract
The invention provides for processing of data to determine the likelihood of default of an entity. The processing may comprise obtaining a data set relating to an entity, the data set including at least a first likelihood of default indicator (LDI) value and a second LDI value; determining a LDI rate of change, based on the first LDI value and the second LDI value, to provide a LDI slope value; and determining the likelihood of default of the entity based on the LDI slope value and the first LDI value.

26. A method for processing data to determine the likelihood of default of an entity, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a data set relating to an entity, the data set including at least a first likelihood of default indicator (LDI) value and a second LDI value, the first LDI value is a present day value and the second LDI value is a past day value;
determining a LDI rate of change, based on the first LDI value and the second LDI value, to provide a LDI slope value; and
determining the likelihood of default of the entity based on the LDI slope value and the first LDI value; and
wherein the data set further includes a past window of LDI values and a present window of LDI values;
the past window of LDI values containing a plurality of past LDI values disposed in time proximity to the second LDI value; and
the present window of LDI values containing a plurality of present LDI values disposed in time proximity to the first LDI value; and
wherein the determining the LDI rate of change is performed based on the past window of past LDI values and the present window of present LDI values, the determining the LDI rate of change based on the past window of LDI values and the present window of LDI values includes smoothing the second LDI value and smoothing the first LDI value to respectively generate a past smoothed value and a present smoothed value; and
wherein the past smoothed value is compared with the present smoothed value to provide the LDI slope value. - View Dependent Claims (27)

28. A computer readable memory for directing the operation of a processing system to determine the likelihood of default of an entity, the computer readable memory comprising:
-
a first portion that stores a data set relating to an entity, the data set including at least a first likelihood of default indicator (LDI) value and a second LDI value, the first LDI value being a present day value and the second LDI value being a past day value;
a second portion to determine a LDI rate of change, based on the first LDI value and the second LDI value, to provide a LDI slope value; and
a third portion to determine the likelihood of default of the entity based on the LDI slope value and the first LDI value, the first LDI value being a present value; and
wherein the data set further includes a past window of LDI values and a present window of LDI values;
the past window of LDI values containing a plurality of past LDI values disposed in time proximity to the second LDI value; and
the present window of LDI values containing a plurality of present LDI values disposed in time proximity to the first LDI value, the second portion determining the LDI rate of change based on the past window of past LDI values and the present window of present LDI values by smoothing the second LDI value and smoothing the first LDI value; and
smoothing the second LDI value results in the generation of a past smoothed value; and
smoothing the first LDI value results in the generation of a present smoothed value; and
wherein the second portion compares the past smoothed value with the present smoothed value to provide the LDI slope value.
