Ensemble Classifier for Solving Credit Scoring Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to propose an ensemble classification method for the credit assignment problem. The idea of the proposed method is based on switching class labels techniques. An application of such techniques allows solving two typical data mining problems: a predicament of imbalanced dataset, and an issue of asymmetric cost matrix. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated on German Credits dataset.

متن کاملLarge Unbalanced Credit Scoring Using Lasso-Logistic Regression Ensemble
Recently, various ensemble learning methods with different base classifiers have been proposed for credit scoring problems. However, for various reasons, there has been little research using logistic regression as the base classifier. In this paper, given large unbalanced data, we consider the plausibility of ensemble learning using regularized logistic regression as the base classifier to deal...

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...
