Definition
Implied Correlation is a term used in the context of estimating correlation (dependency) between credit risk or market risk when the input data consist of the prices of traded instruments (observable).
Usage
In practise observable prices are used together with a model which aims to fit the data under certain Model Assumptions. The implied correlation is then one of the parameters of the model.
