We give an introduction to credit risk from a point process perspective. Topics include transform analysis, Monte Carlo sampling, rare-event simulation, asymptotic approximation, and statistical estimation. We cover single name and portfolio credit risk, and treat risk management and derivatives valuation and hedging problems. Data-driven examples are developed.
