Using the SAS® Risk Engine Interface
RREU : RRE12U
SAS Risk Engine is an end-to-end risk calculator for a wide variety of risk applications, including market risk, credit risk, asset liability management, and risk aggregation. In this course, students learn how to evaluate portfolios and market states and run simulations using SAS Risk Engine and risk pipelines in examples, demonstrations, and practices. After they complete this course, students will be comfortable working with risk methods, model groups, and risk pipelines in the user interface.

Note:This course focuses on using SAS Risk Engine via its interactive interface. Analysts who prefer using a programming approach should take the Programming with SAS Risk Engine course.
Learn How To
Use SAS Risk Engine in the user interface to configure and execute risk models and explore results. After completing the course, you will be able to: ;
  • Identify caslibs to use for your input and output data.
  • Set up input objects, including portfolio data, market data, and counterparty data.
  • Define risk method programs that run computations for each instrument and counterparty of a given type at each market state and horizon.
  • Configure risk pipelines to create risk environments, evaluate portfolios and market states, and explore risk results at any aggregation level.
  • Perform an end-to-end risk analysis following the Risk Engine workflow.
  • Create and use risk data objects and functions sets.
  • Explore additional forms of risk analysis that SAS Risk Engine can be used for, including cash flow analyses and mitigation.
    • Who Should Attend
    Risk analysts responsible for creating and deploying risk models to support activities such as stress testing, credit loss reserving (including regulatory), and loan valuations and who prefer to use an interactive user interface
    Prerequisites
    The course is for modelers and risk analysts who are experienced using statistical modeling concepts and methods. Experience with programming for SAS Viya is helpful but not required.
