Talk:Open Source Credit Rating Agency

Since I am the creator of PSCF, and thus have a vested interest in it, I did not want to change the page directly without community input.

I would like to add that the PSCF has also been discussed in the Financial Times Alphaville blog at http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2012/05/02/983041/monte-carlo-simulated-sovereign-credit/.

The download page for the software and sample models is http://www.publicsectorcredit.org/pscf.html and the repository is at http://www.github.com/joffemd/pscf.html.

The rationale for developing this model is presented in four posts on PF2's ExpectedLoss blog. These are:

great, I will add them, but please feel free to modify as long as the motivation is not commercial self-promotion, which I readily accept it is not.
