An Automatic Interaction Detection Hybrid Model for Bankcard Response Classification

Yan Wang, Xuelei Sherry Ni, Brian Stone

In this paper, we propose a hybrid bankcard response model, which integrates decision tree based chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) into logistic regression. In the…

A two-stage hybrid model by using artificial neural networks as feature construction algorithms

Yan Wang, Xuelei Sherry Ni, Brian Stone

We propose a two-stage hybrid approach with neural networks as the new feature construction algorithms for bankcard response classifications. The hybrid model uses a very simple ne…

Influence of the Event Rate on Discrimination Abilities of Bankruptcy Prediction Models

Lili Zhang, Jennifer Priestley, Xuelei Ni

In bankruptcy prediction, the proportion of events is very low, which is often oversampled to eliminate this bias. In this paper, we study the influence of the event rate on discri…
