- Factors on demand[2] (on-the-fly factor models for optimal hedging);
- Effective number of bets[3] (entropy-eigenvalue statistic for diversification management);
- Flexible probabilities[4] (technique for on-the-fly stress-test and estimation without re-pricing);
- Copula-marginal algorithm[5] (an algorithm to generate panic copulas for distributional stress-testing);
- Liquidity conditional convolution[6] (a technique to generate liquidity- and funding-risk adjusted portfolio distribution);
- Flexible Bayesian networks[7] (a methodology to specify parsimonious causal relationships among risk factors in the market).
