Indebted households profiling: a knowledge discovery from database approach (2015)
Journal Article
Scarpel, R., Ladas, A., & Aickelin, U. (2015). Indebted households profiling: a knowledge discovery from database approach. Annals of Data Science, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s40745-015-0031-2

A major challenge in consumer credit risk portfolio management is to classify households according to their risk profile. In order to build such risk profiles it is necessary to employ an approach that analyses data systematically in order to detect...
