How To Fix TE259 - Triples of correlations are checked for consistency; see long text

TE259 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TE - Market Risk Management

• Message number: 259

• Message text: Triples of correlations are checked for consistency; see long text

What causes this issue?

The consistency checks are performed using the algorithm shown by
<ZK>Langford, Schertmann, and Owens (2001)</>. Each set of 3
correlations is checked against the following inequation given by the
authors:
P - S <= Rho_13 <= P + S
with
P = Rho_12 * Rho_23
S = SQRT( ( 1 - (Rho_12)^<ZG>2</> )*( 1 - (Rho_23)^2 ) )
Rho_12 denotes the correlation between the first and the second risk
factor. Rho_13 and Rho_23 are defined accordingly.

System Response

Inconsistent correlations might cause the Cholesky decomposition to
fail.

How to fix this error?

Please consider adjusting the correlations.

  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the controlling area or profitability analysis settings can lead to this error.
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data, such as missing or incorrect characteristics in the master data records, can also trigger this error.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been recent changes to the data model, inconsistencies may arise.
