Conditional survival probabilities under partial information: a recursive quantization approach with applications
... 4.2 Application to CDS option pricing In this section, we briefly recall the concept and valuation of credit default swaps and swaptions before analyzing the quantization procedure applied to such models. This will allow ...

Are Corporate Default Probabilities Consistent with the Static Tradeoff Theory?
... EDF has a number of advantages as a measure of default risk. Unlike issuer credit ratings, which measure the “relative probability of default” at a fixed number of discrete levels, EDF is a continuous “absolute” measure ...
