An Examination of the Conceptual Issues Involved in Developing Credit-Scoring Models

Abstract: Multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) is frequently used to develop statistical credit-scoring models for loan evaluation purposes. Current legislative efforts to insure that credit is being granted in a nondiscriminatory manner have focused considerable attention on the reliability of such models. This article examines the theoretical requirements of the MDA model in the context of a realistic lending situation and illustrates the extent of bias when these theoretical assumptions are not fully met. The article… Show more

“…Identifying those consolidated or potential customers which no generate a business entity, it is necessary to adopt guidelines on best treatment and provisions in case of default and / or migration from buckets of default to buckets as write-down, such is the case with the investigations of Hsia (1978), which describe the importance of scoring methods. In other way, researches of computed data are suggested by Reichert, Cho and Wagner (1983), Joanes (1993) Hand and Henley (1997); detailing the study of particular relationships between the distributions of good and bad customers with the ability to accept and reject people with similar features.…”

“…The proposed method is based upon the assumption of normality distributed data. However, Reichert et al, (1983) proposed that the non-normality of credit information does not provide a limitation for the empirical utilization of the method. Another argument is that the problem of non-normality can be overcome by using a logit model (Wiginton, 1980), a model that is not selected for examination in this paper.…”

“…Logistic regression is often used to establish binary classification as an alternative to linear discriminant analysis. This obviates the unreasonable assumption that covariance matrices used for binary classification are identical [32]. Logistic regression is considered one of the most appropriate methods for predicting binary output [33].…”
