The Study of Credit Scoring Model Based on Group Lasso

Credit scoring model is one of common tools for commercial banks to manage credit risks. In this paper, we use a public dataset from UCI machine learning repository and construct credit scoring models based on Group Lasso Logistic Regression, where the tuning parameters lambda are selected by the Akaike Information Criterion(AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion(BIC) and Cross Validation prediction errors respectively. The experimental results show that the Group Lasso method is better than backward elimination in both interpretability and prediction accuracy. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
