Description

Build a credit scorecard model by creating a creditscorecard object and specify input data in a table format.

After creating a creditscorecard object, you can use the associated object functions to bin the data and perform logistic regression analysis to develop a credit scorecard model to guide credit decisions. This workflow shows how to develop a credit scorecard model.

  1. Use screenpredictors (Risk Management Toolbox) from Risk Management Toolbox™ to pare down a potentially large set of predictors to a subset that is most predictive of the credit score card response variable. Use this subset of predictors when creating the creditscorecard object.

  2. Create a creditscorecard object (see Create creditscorecard and Properties).

  3. Bin the data using autobinning.

  4. Fit a logistic regression model using fitmodel or fitConstrainedModel.

  5. Review and format the credit scorecard points using displaypoints and formatpoints. At this point in the workflow, if you have a license for Risk Management Toolbox, you have the option to create a compactCreditScorecard object (csc) using the compact function. You can then use the following functions displaypoints (Risk Management Toolbox), score (Risk Management Toolbox), and probdefault (Risk Management Toolbox) from the Risk Management Toolbox with the csc object.

  6. Score the data using score.

  7. Calculate the probabilities of default for the data using probdefault.

  8. Validate the quality of the credit scorecard model using validatemodel.

For more detailed information on this workflow, see Credit Scorecard Modeling Workflow.

Creation

Syntax

sc = creditscorecard(data)
sc = creditscorecard(___,Name,Value)

Description

example

sc = creditscorecard(data) creates a creditscorecard object by specifying data. The credit scorecard model, returned as a creditscorecard object, contains the binning maps or rules (cut points or category groupings) for one or more predictors.

example

sc = creditscorecard(___,Name,Value) sets Properties using name-value pairs and any of the arguments in the previous syntax. For example, sc = creditscorecard(data,'GoodLabel',0,'IDVar','CustID','ResponseVar','status','PredictorVars',{'CustAge','CustIncome'},'WeightsVar','RowWeights','BinMissingData',true). You can specify multiple name-value pairs.

Note

To use observation (sample) weights in the credit scorecard workflow, when creating a creditscorecard object, you must use the optional name-value pair WeightsVar to define which column in the data contains the weights.

Input Arguments

expand all

Data for the creditscorecard object, specified as a MATLAB® table, where each column of data can be any one of the following data types:

  • Numeric

  • Logical

  • Cell array of character vectors

  • Character array

  • Categorical

  • String

In addition, the table must contain a binary response variable. Before creating a creditscorecard object, perform a data preparation task to have appropriately structured data as input to a creditscorecard object. The data input sets the Data property.

Data Types: table

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: sc = creditscorecard(data,'GoodLabel',0,'IDVar','CustAge','ResponseVar','status','PredictorVars',{'CustID','CustIncome'},'WeightsVar','RowWeights','BinMissingData',true)

Indicator for which of the two possible values in the response variable correspond to “Good” observations, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'GoodLabel' and a numeric scalar, logical, or character vector. The GoodLabel name-value pair argument sets the GoodLabel property.

When specifying GoodLabel, follow these guidelines.

If Response Variable is...GoodLabel Must be...
numericnumeric
logicallogical or numeric
cell array of character vectorscharacter vector
character arraycharacter vector
categoricalcharacter vector

If not specified, GoodLabel is set to the response value with the highest count. However, if the optional WeightsVar argument is provided when creating the creditscorecard object, then counts are replaced with weighted frequencies. For more information, see Credit Scorecard Modeling Using Observation Weights.

GoodLabel can only be set when creating the creditscorecard object. This parameter cannot be set using dot notation.

Data Types: char | double

Variable name used as ID or tag for the observations, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IDVar' and a character vector. The IDVar data could be an ordinal number (for example, 1,2,3...), a Social Security number. This is provided as a convenience to remove this column from the predictor variables. IDVar is case-sensitive. The IDVar name-value pair argument sets the IDVar property.

You can set this optional parameter using the creditscorecard function or by using dot notation at the command line, as follows.

Example: sc.IDVar = 'CustID'

Data Types: char

Response variable name, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ResponseVar' and a character vector. The response variable data must be binary the"Good" or "Bad" indicator. The ResponseVar name-value pair argument sets the ResponseVar property.

If not specified, ResponseVar is set to the last column of the data input. ResponseVar can only be set when creating the creditscorecard object using the creditscorecard function. ResponseVar is case-sensitive.

Data Types: char

Weights variable name, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'WeightsVar' and a character vector to indicate which column name in the data table contains the row weights. WeightsVar is case-sensitive. The WeightsVar name-value pair argument sets the WeightsVar property, and this property can only be set at the creation of a creditscorecard object. If the name-value pair argument WeightsVar is not specified when creating a creditscorecard object, then observation weights are set to unit weights by default.

The WeightsVar values are used in the credit scorecard workflow by autobinning, bininfo, fitmodel, and validatemodel. For more information, see Credit Scorecard Modeling Using Observation Weights.

Data Types: char

Indicates if missing data is removed or displayed in a separate bin, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BinMissingdata' and a logical scalar with a value of true or false. If BinMissingData is true, the missing data for a predictor is displayed in a separate bin labeled <missing>.

Data Types: logical

Properties

Indicator for which of the two possible values in the response variable correspond to “Good” observations. When specifying GoodLabel, follow these guidelines:

If Response Variable is...GoodLabel must be:
numericnumeric
logicallogical or numeric
cell array of character vectorscharacter vector
character arraycharacter vector
categoricalcharacter vector

If not specified, GoodLabel is set to the response value with the highest count. This property can only be set with an optional parameter when creating a creditscorecard object. This property cannot be set using dot notation.

Data Types: char | double | logical

Name of the response variable, specified as a character vector. The response variable data must be binary, the "Good" or "Bad" indicator. If not specified, ResponseVar is set to the last column of the data input. This property can only be set with an optional parameter when creating a creditscorecard object. ResponseVar is case-sensitive.

Data Types: char

Name of the variable used as ID or tag to indicate which column name in the data table contains the row weights, specified as a character vector. This property can be set as an optional parameter (WeightsVar) when creating a creditscorecard object. WeightsVar is case-sensitive.

Data Types: char

This property is read-only.

VarNames is a cell array of character vectors containing the names of all variables in the data. The VarNames come directly from the data input to the creditscorecard object. VarNames is case-sensitive.

Data Types: cell

Name of numeric predictors, specified as a character vector. This property cannot be set by using dot notation at the command line. It can only be modified using the modifypredictor function.

Data Types: char

Name of categorical predictors, specified as a character vector. This property cannot be set by using dot notation at the command line. It can only be modified using the modifypredictor function.

Data Types: char

Indicates if missing data is removed or displayed in a separate bin, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BinMissingdata' and a logical scalar with a value of true or false. If BinMissingData is true, the missing data for a predictor is displayed in a separate bin labeled <missing>. For more information on working with missing data, see Credit Scorecard Modeling with Missing Values.

Data Types: logical

Name of the variable used as ID or tag for the observations, specified as a character vector. This property can be set as an optional parameter when creating a creditscorecard object or by using dot notation at the command line. IDVar is case-sensitive.

Example: sc.IDVar = 'CustID'

Data Types: char

Predictor variable names, specified using a cell array of character vectors containing names. By default, when you create a creditscorecard object, all variables are predictors except for IDVar and ResponseVar. This property can be modified using a name-value pair argument for the fitmodel function or by using dot notation. PredictorVars is case-sensitive and the predictor variable name cannot be the same as the IDVar or ResponseVar.

Example: sc.PredictorVars = {'CustID','CustIncome'}

Data Types: cell

Data used to create the creditscorecard object, specified as a table when creating a creditscorecard object. In the Data property, categorical predictors are stored as categorical arrays.

Example: sc.Data(1:10,:)

In this example, the default values for the properties ResponseVar, PredictorVars and GoodLabel are assigned when this object is created. By default, the property ResponseVar is set to the variable name that is in the last column of the input data ('status' in this example). The property PredictorVars contains the names of all the variables that are in VarNames, but excludes IDVar and ResponseVar. Also, by default in the previous example, GoodLabel is set to 0, since it is the value in the response variable (ResponseVar) with the highest count.

Use creditscorecard with the name-value argument 'BinMissingData' set to true to bin the missing data in a separate bin. 

sc = creditscorecard(dataMissing,'IDVar','CustID','BinMissingData',true);
sc = autobinning(sc);
disp(sc)
  creditscorecard with properties:
