Loan default prediction
Challenges
Many credit decisioning systems are driven by scorecards where these scorecards had been simplistic rule-based systems in the past. In the recent years, organisations started to develop scorecards with the traditional techniques. However, developing scorecards, maintaining them based on the macroeconomic dynamics and behavioral needs are difficult and time consuming
