# Parameter sets

> Guide to parameter sets in Atoti CVA Risk Capital, covering BCBS and Experiment parameter sets, creating custom sets, BA and SA regulatory parameter scope, and side-by-side parameter comparison using the Parameter Set hierarchy

* Specific values defined in \[MAR50] are shipped with the Solution in a set labelled “BCBS”.
* An additional set labelled “Experiment” is shipped for demonstration purpose and contains overrides (for instance for the parameter “sa.fx.delta.rw”) to the parent “BCBS”.
* Additional sets of parameter values can be added in a customer project.

Users can analyze calculations under different parameter values side-by-side by using [\[Parameter Set\].\[Parameter Set\]](../cube/parameter-set.parameter-set) hierarchy.

* Users can override parameter sets values in a WhatIf experiment and analyze the impact of parameter changes on capital. To compare “master” and experimental calculations use [\[Epoch\].\[Epoch\]](../cube/epoch.epoch) hierarchy.

The “Parameter Sets” widget under WhatIf Simulations category can be used to display base and experimental parameter values. For the sets having a parent, you may need to activate the toggle “Lineage” to view the overrides together with the based values.

## Scope

The set includes these regulatory parameters for the BA approach:

* counterparty correlation $\rho$ [\[MAR50.14\]](https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/MAR/50.htm?inforce=20230101\&published=20200708#paragraph_MAR_50_20230101_50_14)
* risk weights $RW$, given per "Sector" and "Credit Quality" [\[MAR50.16\]](https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/MAR/50.htm?inforce=20230101\&published=20200708#paragraph_MAR_50_20230101_50_16)
* hedge-counterparty correlation $r_{hc}$ [\[MAR50.26\]](https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/MAR/50.htm?inforce=20230101\&published=20200708#paragraph_MAR_50_20230101_50_26)

* cross-buckets correlations $\gamma_{kl}$ ([\[MAR50.54\]](https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/MAR/50.htm?inforce=20230101\&published=20200708#paragraph_MAR_50_20230101_50_54) - [\[MAR50.77\]](https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/MAR/50.htm?inforce=20230101\&published=20200708#paragraph_MAR_50_20230101_50_77)),

* domestic currency is part of the application jurisdiction setting.

## Parameters

Parameters are organized into categories, which you can select on top left of the “Parameter Sets” widget.

The “CVARC Parameters” category is used for parameters that are set as constants:
