Create Logistic model object for lifetime probability of default

expand all in page

Description

Create and analyze a Logistic model object to calculate the lifetime probability (PD) of default using this workflow:

  1. Use fitLifetimePDModel to create a Logistic model object.

  2. Use predict to predict the conditional PD and predictLifetime to predict the lifetime PD.

  3. Use modelDiscrimination to return AUROC and ROC data. You can plot the results using modelDiscriminationPlot.

  4. Use modelCalibration to return the RMSE of the observed and predicted PD data. You can plot the results using modelCalibrationPlot.

Creation

Syntax

LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(data,ModelType)
LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(___,Name,Value)

Description

LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(data,ModelType) creates a Logistic PD model object.

If you do not specify variable information for IDVar, AgeVar, LoanVars, MacroVars, and ResponseVar, then:

  • IDVar is set to the first column in the data input.

  • LoanVars is set to include all columns from the second to the second-to-last columns of the data input.

  • ResponseVar is set to the last column in the data input.

example

LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax. The optional name-value arguments set model object properties. For example, LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(data(TrainDataInd,:),"Logistic",ModelID="Logistic_A",Description="Logisitic_model",AgeVar="YOB",IDVar="ID",LoanVars="ScoreGroup",MacroVars={'GDP','Market'},ResponseVar="Default",WeightsVar="Weights") creates a LogisticPDModel object using a Logistic model type.

example

Input Arguments

expand all

Data, specified as a table, in panel data form. The data must contain an ID column. The response variable must be a binary variable with the value 0 or 1, with 1 indicating default.

Data Types: table

Model type, specified as a string with the value of "Logistic" or a character vector with the value of 'Logistic'.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

expand all

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: LogisticPDModel = fitLifetimePDModel(data(TrainDataInd,:),"Logistic",ModelID="Logistic_A",Description="Logisitic_model",AgeVar="YOB",IDVar="ID",LoanVars="ScoreGroup",MacroVars={'GDP','Market'},ResponseVar="Default",WeightsVar="Weights")

User-defined model ID, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ModelID' and a string or character vector. The software uses the ModelID to format outputs and is expected to be short.

Data Types: string | char

User-defined description for model, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Description' and a string or character vector.

Data Types: string | char

ID variable indicating which column in data contains the loan or borrower ID, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IDVar' and a string or character vector.

Data Types: string | char

Age variable indicating which column in data contains the loan age information, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AgeVar' and a string or character vector.

Data Types: string | char

Loan variables indicating which column in data contains the loan-specific information, such as origination score or loan-to-value ratio, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LoanVars' and a string array or cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: string | cell

Macro variables indicating which column in data contains the macroeconomic information, such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth or unemployment rate, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'MacroVars' and a string array or cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: string | cell

Variable indicating which column in data contains the response variable, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ResponseVar' and a string or character vector.

Note

The response variable values in the data must be a binary variable with 0 or 1 values, with 1 indicating default.

Data Types: string | char

Column name of the input table containing weights, specified as a string scalar.

Note

The default value ("") results in a weight of 1 for each row in data. All weight values in data must be nonnegative.

For an example using WeightsVar, see Create Weighted Lifetime PD Model.

Data Types: string

Time interval value, specified as a positive numeric scalar indicating the time interval used to define the 0-1 default indicator values in the response variable. The time interval typically coincides with the distance between age values in training data in the panel data input. For example, if the age data (AgeVar) is 1, 2, 3, ..., then the TimeInterval is 1; if the age data is 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, ..., then the TimeInterval is 0.25. For more information, see Time Interval for Logistic Models and Lifetime Prediction and Time Interval.

By default, if you do not specify a TimeInterval when creating a Logistic model, the TimeInterval is inferred from the increments in the AgeVar values in the training data. If AgeVar does not contain numeric values, TimeInterval is set to [].

Data Types: double

Predict Conditional and Lifetime PD

Use the predict function to predict conditional PD values. The prediction is a row-by-row prediction.

dataCustomer1 = data(1:8,:);
CondPD = predict(pdModel,dataCustomer1)
CondPD = 8×1

    0.0092
    0.0053
    0.0045
    0.0039
    0.0037
    0.0037
    0.0019
    0.0012

Use predictLifetime to predict the lifetime cumulative PD values (computing marginal and survival PD values is also supported). The predictLifetime function uses the ID variable (see the 'IDVar' property for the Logistic object) to transform conditional PDs to cumulative PDs for each ID.

LifetimePD = predictLifetime(pdModel,dataCustomer1)
LifetimePD = 8×1

    0.0092
    0.0145
    0.0189
    0.0228
    0.0264
    0.0300
    0.0319
    0.0330

Validate Model

Use modelDiscrimination to measure the ranking of customers by PD.

DiscMeasure = modelDiscrimination(pdModel,data(TestDataInd,:),DataID='test data');
disp(DiscMeasure)
                            AUROC 
                           _______

    Logistic, test data    0.70009

Use modelDiscriminationPlot to visualize the ROC curve.

modelDiscriminationPlot(pdModel,data(TestDataInd,:),DataID='test data');

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title ROC test data Logistic, AUROC = 0.70009, xlabel Fraction of Non-Defaulters, ylabel Fraction of Defaulters contains an object of type line. This object represents Logistic.

Use modelCalibration to measure the calibration of the predicted PD values. The modelCalibration function requires a grouping variable and compares the accuracy of the observed default rate in the group with the average predicted PD for the group. For example, you can group by calendar year using the 'Year' variable.

CalMeasure = modelCalibration(pdModel,data(TestDataInd,:),'Year',DataID='test data');
disp(CalMeasure)
                                              RMSE  
                                            ________

    Logistic, grouped by Year, test data    0.000453

Use modelCalibrationPlot to visualize the observed default rates compared to the predicted probabilities of default (PD).

modelCalibrationPlot(pdModel,data(TestDataInd,:),'Year',DataID='test data');

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Scatter Grouped by Year test data Logistic, RMSE = 0.000453, xlabel Year, ylabel PD contains 2 objects of type line. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers These objects represent Observed, Logistic.
