Abstract: heatmapgraph applies a framework for measuring the evolution of risks to financial stability over the financial cycle. Starting from a large number of indicators of financial stability risk, heatmapgraph selects best indicators signaling overheating periods based on: i) its capability for detecting overheating of financial activities; ii) successfully minimizes various statistical errors involved in forecasting future events (loss functions). Then normalize and aggregate these indicators, first into components, then into categories and finally into an aggregate index measure.
