No measurement result is quite accurate and reliable, unless it is reported with uncertainty [4, 5]. Because of uncertainty in measurement, there is always the risk of mistaken decisions about that whether it is…

    & George, 2005). In Li (2000) paper, a new random variable named ‘time-until-default’ was created to demonstrate survival time of each defaultable entity. And the copula function approach is based on this random variable to evaluate the default probability of financial instruments. Specifically, copula function specify the joint distribution of the survival times after using the market information to derive the marginal distribution of the survival time. This approach solves the default…
