2 Content 2 Objectives The utilization rate definitions and usage General model description One-stage model comparative analysis: OLS Beta-regression Beta transformation plus GLM Fractional regression (quasi-likelihood) Weighted logistic regression with binary transformation Two-stage model comparative analysis: Probability of use Direct estimation Conclusions

3 Objectives of investigation 3 We perform a comparative analysis of a set of methods for the credit limit utilization rate (usage proportion) prediction: i) five direct estimation techniques such as: ordinary linear regression, beta regression, beta transformation plus general linear models (GLM), fractional regression (quasi-likelihood estimation), weighted logistic regression for binary transformed data, ii) two-stage models: probability of use PLUS the credit limit utilization rate direct estimation

4 Credit Limit = 3 Credit line Income Prediction 4 For interest income Utilization = Balance / Credit Limit IR_Income = Utilization Rate x Limit x IR For non-interest income (POS, ATM, Interchange etc.) POS Income = TR Debit_POS x POS_fees_rate Interchange = TR Debit_POS x Interchange_fees_rate Cash Withdrawal Income = TR_Debit_ATM x ATM_fees_rate 5% X IR = IR Income Interest Income from Balance: 15 UAH X 36% /12 = 45 GBP Monthly transactions: 1 UAH POS X 2% = 2 GBP 5 UAH ATM X 2,5% = 12,5 GBP Total Non_Interest Income = 32,5 GBP Total Income = 45+32,5 = 77,5 GBP

8 Credit Limit = 1 Credit Limit = 2 8 Why the utilization rate, not the outstanding balance Utilization Rate Vintage - by activation month (year of deal ) Limit Increase 22% of accounts Avg Increase = 18 M211 M212 M213 M214 M215 M216 M217 M218 M219 M211 M2111 M2112 M2111 M2112 M2113 M2114 M2115 M2116 M2117 M2118 M2119 M2111 M21111 M21112 Ut Rate = 5% 5 Ut Rate = 5% 1 Limit increase process in June has shown the utilization rate drop, but it has stabilized almost at the same level in two months. Assumption: Customer behaviour characteristics and customer profile rather have impact on the utilization rate than on the outstanding balance. Credit limit depends on credit policy rules and sets up particularly according to the customer risk profile. The same behavioural customer segments have various outstanding balances correlated particularly with the credit limit. Thus customer segment does not has typical outstanding balance, but typical utilization rate as proportion of the credit limit.

9 Utilization Rate OB and Credit Limit, mu Model segments empirical explanation 9 Outstanding balance and Credit limit distiribution by the Utilization rate Utilization rate Avg OB Limit The utilization rate decrease can be caused by the credit limit increase process. However, the customer behaviour can be changed because of the limit changes. This is the reason why it is reasonable to split the model up two segment: i) credits with unchanged limits and ii) credits with the limits which have been changed. Because of the inconsistencies in the behavioural characteristics calculation (lack of history) and the differences in the utilization rate dynamic at the early and late credit history stages it is rational to allocate the separate model for the low MOB period. In our case two periods have been chosen: MOB from 1 to 5 and MOB more than 6. Averate Utilization Rate by Month on Balance Month on Book

10 Model segments 1 The data sample has given maximum 3 month period for investigation. First 24 months are used as an observation period for behavioural characteristics calculation. Available months on balance after 25 th month are used as a performance period only Model APP: MOB 1-5 Model BEH NL: MOB 6+ and Limit NO Change Model BEH CL: MOB 6+ and Limit Changed Performance Performance For the first 5 months on balance the model called the Application model (Model APP) is applied. This model contains application and short term behavioural characteristics. Two long term behavioural models as non-changed limit (BEH NL) and changed limit (BEH CL) are applied for the next 18 months (from 6th to 24). Also this period from 6th to 24th month on balance is used as a performance window for the development and validation with appropriate lag for any previous observation window. For example, the loan activated in July 211 has 6 month history from July till Dec and 6 month performance period from Jan to June 212.

This means that the outstanding balance is not so different as the credit limit.

14 Regression methods (1/2) 14 Linear regression - OLS Beta regression Because the outcome is in the range between and 1 the logistic transformation is used to find the dependences between predictors x(a) and regressor Beta-transformation plus OLS The algorithm uses the beta distribution to transform the original target. 1 - to find the beta-distribution coefficients (alpha and beta) - fit the sample distribution using the non-linear regression procedures. 2 - replace real target variable by the ideal beta-distributed. 3 -find appropriate normal distributed value. 4 - run OLS or Generalized Linear Mixed Model to find regression coefficients.

15 Regression methods (2/2) 15 Fractional logit transformation (quasi-likelihood) The utilization rate has is bounded between and 1. The Bernoulli log-likelihood function is given by T UT log UT log(1 UT) - Transformation function Weighted Logistic regression with binary transformation Utilization Rate Binary recovery target Weight R, <r<1 1 r 1-r Each observation is presented as two observations with the same set of predictors according to the good/bad or /1 definition used in logistic regression. The outcome with target 1 corresponds to the rate r weight r, the outcome with target corresponds to the rate 1-r.

22 Two-stage model summary 22 At the first stage the probability that an account has zero utilization (Pr (Ut=) and then that an account has full utilization (Pr (Ut=1)) in the performance period is calculated with binary logistic regression. At the second stage the proportion between and 1 excluding and 1 values is calculated according to the set of the approaches used for one-stage direct estimation.

23 Conclusions The best validation results have been shown by for both one- and two-stage models are: fractional regression weighted logistic regression with data binary transformation. Two-stage models show slight better result for all five approaches than one-stage model: for example, R 2 =.5522 one-stage vs two-stage for WLR The probabilities estimation models for the utilization rate bound values and 1 have high performance results for credit risk behavioural models (GINI =.74 and.72) Utilization rate applied in profitability and risk models Other models as extensions of regressions, decision trees, survival analysis, machine learning (SVM, neural networks, etc.) can be applied and tested for further researches.
