compactCreditScorecard Object Workflow

This example shows a workflow for creating a compactCreditScorecard object from a creditscorecard object.

Step 1. Create a creditscorecard object

To create a compactCreditScorecard object, you must first create a creditscorecard object. Create a creditscorecard object with the CreditCardData.mat file, and set the name-value pair argument 'BinMissingData' to true because the dataMissing data set contains missing data.

load CreditCardData.mat
sc = creditscorecard(dataMissing,'IDVar','CustID','BinMissingData',true);
sc = autobinning(sc);
sc = modifybins(sc,'CustAge','MinValue',0);
sc = modifybins(sc,'CustIncome','MinValue',0);

Step 2. Fit a logistic regression model for the creditscorecard object

Use fitmodel to fit a logistic regression model using the Weight of Evidence (WOE) data.

[sc, mdl] = fitmodel(sc);
1. Adding CustIncome, Deviance = 1490.8527, Chi2Stat = 32.588614, PValue = 1.1387992e-08
2. Adding TmWBank, Deviance = 1467.1415, Chi2Stat = 23.711203, PValue = 1.1192909e-06
3. Adding AMBalance, Deviance = 1455.5715, Chi2Stat = 11.569967, PValue = 0.00067025601
4. Adding EmpStatus, Deviance = 1447.3451, Chi2Stat = 8.2264038, PValue = 0.0041285257
5. Adding CustAge, Deviance = 1442.8477, Chi2Stat = 4.4974731, PValue = 0.033944979
6. Adding ResStatus, Deviance = 1438.9783, Chi2Stat = 3.86941, PValue = 0.049173805
7. Adding OtherCC, Deviance = 1434.9751, Chi2Stat = 4.0031966, PValue = 0.045414057

Generalized linear regression model:
    logit(status) ~ 1 + CustAge + ResStatus + EmpStatus + CustIncome + TmWBank + OtherCC + AMBalance
    Distribution = Binomial

Estimated Coefficients:

    AMBalance       1.0446      0.32197    3.2443     0.0011775


1200 observations, 1192 error degrees of freedom
Dispersion: 1
Chi^2-statistic vs. constant model: 88.5, p-value = 2.55e-16

Step 3. Create a new data set for scoring the creditscorecard object

Create a new data set that is used for scoring based on the previously created creditscorecard object.

tdata = data(1:10, mdl.PredictorNames);
tdata.CustAge(2) = NaN;
tdata.CustAge(5) = -5;
tdata.ResStatus(1) = missing;
tdata.ResStatus(3) = 'Landlord';
tdata.EmpStatus(3) = missing;
tdata.CustIncome(4) = NaN;
tdata.EmpStatus(7) = 'Freelancer';
tdata.CustIncome(8) = -1;
tdata.CustIncome(4) = NaN;
disp(tdata);
    CustAge     ResStatus      EmpStatus     CustIncome    TmWBank    OtherCC    AMBalance

Use displaypoints to display the points per predictor. Use score to compute the credit scores using the new data (tdata). Then use probdefault with the new data (tdata) to calculate probability of default. When using formatpoints, the 'Missing' name-value pair argument is set to 'minpoints' because tdata contains missing data.

Step 4. Create a compactCreditScorecard object from the creditscorecard object

Create a compactCreditScorecard object using the creditscorecard object as the input. Alternatively, you can create the compactCreditScorecard object using the compact function in Financial Toolbox™.

csc = compactCreditScorecard(sc)
csc = 
  compactCreditScorecard with properties:

              Description: ''
                GoodLabel: 0
              ResponseVar: 'status'
               WeightsVar: ''
        NumericPredictors: {'CustAge'  'CustIncome'  'TmWBank'  'AMBalance'}
    CategoricalPredictors: {'ResStatus'  'EmpStatus'  'OtherCC'}
            PredictorVars: {'CustAge'  'ResStatus'  'EmpStatus'  'CustIncome'  'TmWBank'  'OtherCC'  'AMBalance'}

Step 5. Use associated functions to analyze the compactCreditScorecard object

You can analyze the compactCreditScorecard object with displaypoints, score, and probdefault from Risk Management Toolbox™.

The size of the compactCreditScorecard object is lightweight compared to the creditscorecard object. However, the compactCreditScorecard object cannot be directly modified. If you need to change a compactCreditScorecard object, you must change the starting creditscorecard object, and then reconvert that object to create the compactCreditScorecard object again.
