Negative Correlations in Ising Models of Credit Risk
摘要
We analyze a subclass of Ising models in the context of credit risk, focusing on Dandelion models when the correlations \(\rho \) between the central node and each non-central node are negative. We establish the possible range of values for \(\rho \) and derive an explicit formula linking the correlation between any pair of non-central nodes to \(\rho \) . The paper concludes with a simulation study.
