• Logistic regression identified several features that could predict risk• “Riskier population”• Borrower allowed maximum interest rate
• Training with SVM only got us part of the way (22% recovery)• Had to go back to simple probability theory

• Logistic regression identified several features that could predict risk• “Riskier population”• Borrower allowed maximum interest rate
• Training with SVM only got us part of the way (22% recovery)• Had to go back to simple probability theory• Combined retrained SVM with probability theory to achieve ~89% loss
recovery

• Impact/Significance• Project to recover $48,000 over the next year from loss• Over 5 year period, for every $1 million invested, recovers additional
$110,000 that can continue to be reinvested
• Actions already taken• Implement the model the risk model for interest rates• Change policy to ask for borrower allowed interest rates again
• Actions to be taken• Figure out policy change that allowed for risky population
