Testing Probability Calibrations: Application to Credit Scoring Models∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The validation of probability calibration is an inherently difficult task. We develop a testing procedure for credit-scoring models. The models comprise two components to check whether the ex-ante probabilities support the ex-post frequencies. The first component tests the level of the probability calibration under dependencies. In the long term, the number of events should equal the sum of assigned probabilities. The second component validates the shape, measuring the differentiation between high and low probability events. We construct a goodnessof-fit statistic for both level and shape together with a global statistics, which is asymptotically χ2-distributed. JEL Classification Codes: C12, C52, and G21

Investigating the missing data effect on credit scoring rule based models: The case of an Iranian bank
Credit risk management is a process in which banks estimate probability of default (PD) for each loan applicant. Data sets of previous loan applicants are built by gathering their data, and these internal data sets are usually completed using external credit bureau’s data and finally used for estimating PD in banks. There is also a continuous interest for bank to use rule based classifiers to b...
متن کاملMatrix Sequential Hybrid Credit Scorecard Based on Logistic Regression and Clustering
The Basel II Accord pointed out benefits of credit risk management through internal models to estimate Probability of Default (PD). Banks use default predictions to estimate the loan applicants’ PD. However, in practice, PD is not useful and banks applied credit scorecards for their decision making process. Also the competitive pressures in lending industry forced banks to use profit scorecards...
متن کاملCredit Scoring using Semiparametric Methods
Credit scoring methods aim to assess credit worthiness of potential borrowers to keep the risk of credit loss low and to minimize the costs of failure over risk groups. Standard parametric approaches as logistic discrimination analysis assume that the probability of belonging to the group of ”bad” clients is given by P (Y = 1|X) = F (βX), with Y = 1 indicating a ”bad” client and X denoting the ...

In data mining, clustering is one of the important issues for separation and classification with groups like unsupervised data. In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve and optimize the application of clustering heuristic methods such as Genetic, PSO algorithm, Artificial bee colony algorithm, Harmony Search algorithm and Differential Evolution on the unlabeled data of an Iranian bank...
