Usage Modes
Usage can be either in the form of
- automated / unsupervised action or instead
- produce signals / metrics which are to be evaluated by humans before any action is taken
Examples
Mode usage can take many distinct forms:
- yes/no decisions in accepting or proposing a risk/transaction
- direct input into pricing decisions
- direct input into hedging decisions
- input into setting of limits
- internal and / or regulatory capital calculation
Model usage includes the use of Overrides, re-calibrations or any other model adjustment mechanisms that may intermediate and modify the model output before final action.
Issues and Challenges
