Credit risk evaluation using adaptive Lq penalty SVM with Gauss kernel

In order to improve the performance of support vector machine (SVM) applications in the field of credit risk evaluation, an adaptive Lq SVM model with Gauss kernel (ALqG-SVM) is proposed to evaluate credit risks. The non-adaptive penalty of the object function is extended to (0, 2] to increase classification accuracy. To further improve the generalization performance of the proposed model, the Gauss kernel is introduced, thus the non-linear classification problem can be linearly separated in higher dimensional feature space. Two UCI credit datasets and a real life credit dataset from a US major commercial bank are used to check the efficiency of this model. Compared with other popular methods, satisfactory results are obtained through a novel method in the area of credit risk evaluation. So the new model is an excellent choice.

In view of these properties, this paper derives a clear sequencing formula for the new negative judgment matrix, which improves the sequencing principle of AHP. Finally, this new method is applied to personal credit evaluation to show its advantages of conciseness and swiftness.

Clues from networks:quantifying relational risk for credit risk evaluation of SMEs

Owing to information asymmetry,evaluating the credit risk of small-and mediumsized enterprises(SMEs)is difficult.While previous studies evaluating the credit risk of SMEs have mostly focused on intrinsic risk generated by SMEs,our study considers both intrinsic and relational risks generated by neighbor firms’publicly available risk events.We propose a framework for quantifying relational risk based on publicly available risk events for SMEs’credit risk evaluation.Our proposed framework quantifies relational risk by weighting the impact of publicly available risk events of each firm in an interfirm network—considering the impact of interfirm network type,risk event type,and time dependence of risk events—and combines the relational risk score with financial and demographic features to evaluate SMEs credit risk.Our results reveal that relational risk score significantly improves both discrimination and granting performances of credit risk evaluation of SMEs,providing valuable managerial and practical implications for financial institutions.

Research and Implementation of the Enterprise Evaluation Based on a Fusion Clustering Model of AHP-FCM

Traditional clustering method is easy to slow convergence speed because of high data dimension and setting random initial clustering center. To improve these problems, a novel method combining subtractive clustering with fuzzy C-means( FCM)clustering will be advanced. In the method, the initial cluster number and cluster center can be obtained using subtractive clustering. On this basis,clustering result will be further optimized with FCM. In addition,the data dimension will be reduced through the analytic hierarchy process( AHP) before clustering calculating.In order to verify the effectiveness of fusion algorithm,an example about enterprise credit evaluation will be carried out. The results show that the fusion clustering algorithm is suitable for classifying high-dimension data,and the algorithm also does well in running up processing speed and improving visibility of result. So the method is suitable to promote the use.

DESIGNING A HYBRID INTELLIGENT MINING SYSTEM FOR CREDIT RISK EVALUATION

In this study, a novel hybrid intelligent mining system integrating rough sets theory and support vector machines is developed to extract efficiently association rules from original information table for credit risk evaluation and analysis. In the proposed hybrid intelligent system, support vector machines are used as a tool to extract typical features and filter its noise, which are different from the previous studies where rough sets were only used as a preprocessor for support vector machines. Such an approach could reduce the information table and generate the final knowledge from the reduced information table by rough sets. Therefore, the proposed hybrid intelligent system overcomes the difficulty of extracting rules from a trained support vector machine classifier and possesses the robustness which is lacking for rough-set-based approaches. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid intelligent system is illustrated with two real-world credit datasets.

Improved hybrid resampling and ensemble model for imbalance learning and credit evaluation

A clustering-based undersampling (CUS) and distance-based near-miss method are widely used in current imbalanced learning algorithms, but this method has certain drawbacks. In particular, the CUS does not consider the influence of the distance factor on the majority of instances, and the near-miss method omits the inter-class(es) within the majority of samples. To overcome these drawbacks, this study proposes an undersampling method combining distance measurement and majority class clustering. Resampling methods are used to develop an ensemble-based imbalanced-learning algorithm called the clustering and distance-based imbalance learning model (CDEILM). This algorithm combines distance-based undersampling, feature selection, and ensemble learning. In addition, a cluster size-based resampling (CSBR) method is proposed for preserving the original distribution of the majority class, and a hybrid imbalanced learning framework is constructed by fusing various types of resampling methods. The combination of CDEILM and CSBR can be considered as a specific case of this hybrid framework. The experimental results show that the CDEILM and CSBR methods can achieve better performance than the benchmark methods, and that the hybrid model provides the best results under most circumstances. Therefore, the proposed model can be used as an alternative imbalanced learning method under specific circumstances, e.g., for providing a solution to credit evaluation problems in financial applications.

A Credit Risk Evaluation Approach to Neural Network Training by Means of Financial Ratios

In recent years artificial neural networks are used to recognize the risk category of investigated companies. The research is based on data from 81 listed enterprises that applied for credit in domestic regional banks operating in China. The backpropagation algorithm-the multilayer feedforward network structure is described. Each firm is described by 9 diagnostic variables and potential borrowers are classified into four classes. The efficiency of classification is evaluated in terms of classification errors calculated from the actual classification made by the credit officers. The results of the experiments show that LevenbergMarque training error is smallest among 4 learning algorithms and its performance is better, and application of artificial neural networks and classification functions can support the creditworthiness evaluation of borrowers.

An Interpretable Personal Credit Evaluation Model

How to establish a personal credit evaluation model with both interpretability and high prediction accuracy is an essential task in the credit risk management of commercial banks.To realize interpretable personal credit evaluation with high accuracy,it proposes an interpretable personal credit evaluation model DTONN(i.e.,Decision Tree extracted from Neural Network)that combines the interpretability of decision tree and the high prediction accuracy of neural network.Significant features were selected from raw features by a decision tree,and a four-layer neural network was constructed to predict personal credit by using the selected features.Therefore,the accurate credit evaluation was made through the neural network and associated decision process was intelligibly displayed in the form of a decision tree.In the experiments,DTONN was compared with four personal credit evaluation models:decision tree,neural network,support vector machine,and logistic regression,on giveme-some-credit credit dataset.The experimental results show that our proposed model is state-of-the-art both on the accuracy and interpretability.
