On p.59 of the notes for T5 R5 Tuckman's ch9, the model highlighted in blue is wrong

Page 70 of the notes for P2.T5 Tuckman chapter 10, starting node of the interest rate tree diagram shows the natural logarithm of the rate rather than the initial rate itself.

On page 34 of the notes for T5.R1 Dowd Chapter 7:

Describe the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach

Formula 7.18:

I believe it should be Pr{X-u<= x | X > u}

In T5-R1-P2-Dowd, under "Define coherent risk measures.", the definition of positive homogeniety refers to X and Y in the image but only X in the text. (P10)

@Nicole Seaman - Am looking at pdf notes of Bruce Tuckman, Fixed Income Securities. The blank page is under Tuckman, chapter 7. (page 22 of the pdf)

Also in the same chapter - Define risk-neutral pricing and explain its use in option pricing, in para one it mentions the example of coin toss for risk neutral pricing. Am assuming the payment on coin toss should be either $2 or$0 (mentioned as 1$) "Let’s assume a fair coin (ie, 50% probably of flipping heads) while the risk-free rate is 3.0% with continuous compounding. You are offered the chance to buy a digital (aka, binary) option that pays, in one year when the coin is flipped, either$2.00 or \$1.00"

page 38 of pdf T5-R5-P2-Tuckman-(MR10-MR14)-v3
the power 3 should be outside of the brackets (1+r(3))^3

Hello,

Hull, Chapter 18. Fundamental Review of the Trading Book
T5-R7-P2-Hull-RMFI-v3_6212885dcb64c.pdf
Study Notes p10

I guess it should be 'back-testing an ES is more difficult than a VaR" ?

Hello,

Little typo in

Study Notes: Schroeck, Chapter 5: Capital Structure in Banks​

Define and calculate unexpected loss (UL).
Page 7

the sigma^2 should be variance of LR/PD (not standard deviation)
