Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability

Reproduce the published score contribution by contribution while preserving the paper's variable definitions, lag, failure label, sample boundary, and recalibration warning.

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability connects model inputs, score or structural state, probability, evidence clocks, and validation boundariesD21 / D21-F01

Reproduce the published score contribution by contribution while preserving the paper's variable definitions, lag, failure label, sample boundary, and recalibration warning.

The decision this tutorial makes visible

Published distress formulas are easy to copy and hard to reproduce correctly. The coefficient row is inseparable from feature construction, timing, winsorization, market denominators, failure label, and sample period.

The precise question is: How is the published 12-month-lag CHS failure score assembled from profitability, leverage, returns, volatility, size, liquidity, valuation, and price variables?

A practitioner needs to know what the diagnostic does and does not justify. A builder needs a contract that can be reproduced from the same point-in-time inputs in Python, TypeScript, a visual, and a browser lab.

Intuition before notation

Every predictor contributes coefficient times value to failure log-odds. Negative profitability and excess returns, higher leverage, and volatility can push the score upward under the published signs, but causal stories are not identified by coefficients.

The result depends on the declared algorithm scope, input clocks, units, equality and rounding policies, and unsupported-state treatment. Change one of those and the output represents a different decision even when its field name is unchanged.

Scope and nearby methods

Canonical scope: replicate the Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Table 4 column with predictors lagged 12 months: intercept -9.164 and coefficients for NIMTAAVG, TLMTA, EXRETAVG, SIGMA, RSIZE, CASHMTA, MB, and PRICE. Apply the logistic transform as a transparent published-score probability; do not claim current calibration.

  • Use decimal probabilities internally; percentages are presentation only and rounding occurs after calculation.
  • Reject booleans, strings, NaN, infinities, dimension mismatches, impossible counts, and invalid probability domains.
  • Preserve coefficients, transformations, feature order, horizon, default definition, and calibration vintage with every output.
  • An alert threshold is a declared teaching policy, not an optimal lending cutoff, regulatory floor, or investment rule.

Read the formula in the same order as the algorithm. Validate identity, ordering, units, and supported state first. Apply the selected horizon, transformation, equality, and clock rules second. Calculate with unrounded numeric values. Round only at the declared presentation boundary, and preserve null as a diagnostic rather than coercing it to zero.

Build the algorithm

  1. Verify the paper version, failure label, coefficient row, lag, and feature definitions.
  2. Validate all eight inputs and their score-time availability.
  3. Multiply each variable by its published coefficient.
  4. Add the -9.164 intercept and apply the logistic transform.
  5. Return contributions, score, probability, and an explicit published-replication state.

Production-minded operational checklist

  1. Freeze the target event, unit of analysis, horizon, population, scoring clock, and permitted use.
  2. Version the feature schema, transformations, coefficients, calibration, thresholds, overrides, and source lineage.
  3. Reproduce the canonical fixture and cross-language output before evaluating empirical performance.
  4. Validate discrimination, calibration, stability, sensitivity, fairness where relevant, and outcomes on representative out-of-time data.
  5. Monitor drift and limitations, route exceptions explicitly, and retain human governance proportionate to model use.

The checklist is intentionally strict: an explicit rejection is safer than a plausible output built from stale, malformed, or unsupported state.

Worked synthetic example

The canonical fixture is synthetic teaching data, not an observed borrower, cohort, filing, or market-data record. Its primary author-derived output, distress_probability, is 0.00110573352. The complete input and output are in datasets/canonical-input.json and datasets/expected-output.json.

Each synthetic predictor is multiplied by the Table 4 lag-12 coefficient. The contribution trace plus -9.164 reproduces LPFD exactly; the sigmoid produces a small decimal score probability. No feature or probability is presented as a current issuer observation.

Counterfactual checkpoint

Deteriorate weighted profitability. Make NIMTAAVG more negative while all other paper-defined predictors stay fixed. The output changes because Its published coefficient is negative, so a more negative value adds positive failure log-odds.

The structured result retains state and diagnostics in addition to the primary number. That makes the calculation independently reviewable and prevents a partial, null, rejected, unconverged, or out-of-scope result from being mistaken for an unqualified value.

Boundary and counterexample workbook

The playground computes every scenario at 61 deterministic parameter states. The table uses the declared focus step and states whether that focus reproduces the canonical fixture. The full state ledger and compressed transition segments are in datasets/scenario-results.json.

Visualize the boundary

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability annotated teaching map

Open this SVG at full size, or use the guided playground to compare the seven topic-specific canonical, boundary, policy, and failure scenarios.

The Mermaid flow answers where the selected calculation sits in the processing sequence. The SVG keeps the formula, output, decision boundary, and invariant visible together. The lab lets the reader step through the same structured states without changing the underlying definition.

Decision-lab protocol

Use the four-stage decision lab as an exercise, not as a chart to watch:

  1. Orient: choose a scenario and state what is held fixed: target, horizon, feature or market clock, method version, and diagnostic boundary.
  2. Predict: before revealing the challenge, choose whether distress_probability should increase, decrease, stay unchanged, or change diagnostic state. Start with: Make NIMTAAVG more negative while all other paper-defined predictors stay fixed.
  3. Experiment: use the topic-specific driver slider and curated stops; inspect the causal components and reason code rather than only the headline value.
  4. Explain: complete: “The output changed because ___ moved while ___ remained fixed; this does not establish ___.”

The visible lesson uses curated states. The complete 427-state evidence ledger remains available for reproducibility, boundary review, and independent audit.

Compact glossary

  • NIMTAAVG: weighted profitability
  • TLMTA: liabilities / market assets
  • EXRETAVG: weighted excess return
  • Feature clock: The observation and knowledge-time rule that decides whether an input was available at scoring time.
  • Calibration: The evidence process that maps a score or model output to observed event frequencies for a declared population and horizon.
  • Diagnostic state: The structured status and reason retained beside the headline probability or distance.

Five coordinated teaching views

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability learning contract

The opening view fixes the decision question and output context before presenting a percentage or score.

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability formula anatomy

The formula view keeps units, selected conventions, and the material boundary beside the notation.

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability evidence clock

The clock view prevents a later filing, revised feature, market observation, or default label from leaking into the scoring state.

Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability validation layers

The validation view separates correct arithmetic from discrimination, calibration, stability, and governed use.

The comparison view shows why nearby methods cannot be substituted by output label alone.

Implementation walkthrough

The Python and TypeScript references begin with the same validation contract, reject malformed and unsupported state before calculation, preserve declared ordering and rounding policies, and return structured diagnostics rather than one context-free number.

The main implementation branches are:

  • feature definition or lag differs — do not call it published CHS replication, because coefficient semantics break.
  • all features align — calculate contribution trace, because auditable replication.
  • probability is used operationally — require fresh validation/calibration, because sample and regime changed.

Neither reference silently fetches data, mutates caller-owned inputs outside the declared engine behavior, guesses hidden state, or substitutes a provider default. Shared JSON fixtures make value, null, state, and reason-code drift visible across languages.

Testing and validation

Definition tests compare every canonical field, reject malformed state, and exercise the material boundary. Family validation recomputes every playground state from the reference function. Independent arithmetic is recorded beside the fixture rather than inferred only from implementation output.

The audit must preserve these invariants:

  • Input and feature lineage with availability time
  • Coefficient and method version
  • Intermediate score or structural state
  • Probability and horizon
  • Diagnostic state and reason code

Passing definition and parity checks proves that the implementation matches the selected contract. It does not prove production performance, universal applicability, or future empirical performance or borrower outcome.

Failure modes and misuse

  • Definition fidelity and code parity do not establish discrimination, calibration, stability, fairness, approval suitability, regulatory compliance, or profitability.
  • Rare-event labels, censoring, selection, survivorship, class imbalance, regime change, data revisions, and overrides can dominate apparent model precision.
  • Outputs from different horizons, default definitions, populations, or calibration philosophies are not directly comparable.
  • This educational package is not credit, investment, legal, accounting, or regulatory advice and must not be used to make decisions about real people or firms.

Debugging order

When a result looks surprising, inspect the state in this order:

  1. Confirm identifiers, scope, side, and decision clock.
  2. Confirm units, ordering, and point-in-time inputs.
  3. Confirm equality, rounding, null, and reset policies.
  4. Recalculate the invariant and declared scenario focus before changing code.

Evidence and historical boundary

Historical decision: not useful. A named borrower is not useful for the canonical mechanics: reproducible PD requires the exact default definition, sample selection, feature availability clock, coefficient vintage, calibration, overrides, use case, and permission to publish borrower data. Controlled synthetic records expose those choices without implying a real entity's creditworthiness.

The primary sources are Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi (2008), 2026 interagency model-risk guidance. They support the source roles listed in the research ledger, not a redistributable historical observation, current calibration, regulatory approval, IFRS 9 compliance, borrower creditworthiness, causal interpretation, or investment value.

Summary and next topic

You can now reproduce and critically bound the CHS distress score. The learning flow is: Merton Distance-to-Default → Campbell-Hilscher-Szilagyi Distress Probability → Bharath-Shumway Naive Distance-to-Default. Carry the result forward only with its scope, clock, state, and evidence label.

Takeaway: A published formula is a versioned empirical contract; variable construction and lag are as important as coefficients.
