Development and validation of credit scoring models

Credit Risk Scoring Models

Credit scoring models play a fundamental role in the risk management practice at most banks. They are used to quantify credit risk at counterparty or transaction level in the different phases of the credit cycle (e.g. application, behavioural, collection models). The credit score empowers users to make quick decisions or even to automate decisions and this is extremely desirable when banks are ...

Neural network credit scoring models

This paper investigates the credit scoring accuracy of "ve neural network models: multilayer perceptron, mixture-of-experts, radial basis function, learning vector quantization, and fuzzy adaptive resonance. The neural network credit scoring models are tested using 10-fold crossvalidation with two real world data sets. Results are benchmarked against more traditional methods under consideration...

Sample selection bias in credit scoring models

Sample selection in credit-scoring models

We examine three models for sample selection that are relevant for modeling credit scoring by commercial banks. A binary choice model is used to examine the decision of whether or not to extend credit. The selectivity aspect enters because such models are based on samples of individuals to whom credit has already been given. A regression model with sample selection is suggested for predicting e...
