Abstract:
Abstract Credit Scoring has become an oft researched topic in light of the increasing
volatility of the global economy and the recent world financial crisis. Amidst the many
methods used for credit scoring, machine learning techniques are becoming increasingly
popular due to their efficient and accurate nature and relative simplicity. Furthermore
machine learning techniques minimize the risk of human bias and error and maximize
speed as they are able to perform computationally difficult tasks in very short times.
