Although credit-scoring models represent a widely used managerialaid for large financial intermediaries, the vast majority ofU.S. credit unionsrelatively small cooperatively ownedretail intermediaries, constrained by sample and funding limitationshaveyet to adopt such techniques. Lovie & Lovie (1986) havetheorized that the flat-maximum effect or curve of insensitivityassociated with linear scoring models could be advantageousin areas of applied prediction such as credit scoring. In thiscontext, we reported the relative predictive power of genericcredit-scoring models versus customized models in an earlierpaper (Overstreet et al. 1992). Unfortunately, these findingswere not readily adaptable to the credit-union industry dueto a dated sample with incomplete credit-bureau information.Consequently, from 1988 to 1991, we gathered a refined databasefrom which to further develop and field-test generic scoringmodels in the credit-union environment. The results reportedherein not only confirm, but amplify, the relative predictivepower of such models found earlier. Relative costs and benefitsof generic versus customized models are modelled for a representativecredit union. Future research directions are set forth in theconclusions. 相似文献

Received on 1 July 1991. Predicting human behaviour patterns with linear correlationmodels has absorbed researchers for the past five decades. Althoughmost observers generally concede that humans are inferior tosuch models in combining information, linear scoring modelsare unfortunately, plagued by the flat-maximum effect or thecurse of insensitivity. As Lovie & Lovie(1986)observe: The predictive ability of linear models is insensitiveto large variations in the size of regression weights and tothe number of predictors. In essence, seemingly differentscoringmodels tend to produce indistinguishable predictive outcomes. Since its demonstration by Dawes & Corrigan (1974), observershave cast the flat maximum in a decidedly negative light. Incontrast, Lovie & Lovie (1986) present a provocatively contrarianview of the flat maximums positive potential. In thissame vein, we examine the predictive power of a generic credit-scoringmodel versus individual empirically derived systems. If, asWainer (1976) noted in regard to the flat maximum, itdont make no nevermind, generic credit-scoringmodels could provide cheaper alternatives to individual empiricallyderived models. During the period 1984–8, a series of linear credit-scoringmodels were developed for ten Southeastern U.S. credit unions.For each credit union, stepwise multiple regression was employedto select a subset of explanatory variables to be used in adiscriminant analysis. A generic credit-scoring equation wasdeveloped from the resulting discriminant analyses using weightedaverage coefficients from five systems. The predictive powerof the generic model was compared to the predictive power ofholdout sample of the five remaining credit-scoring models. In all cases, the generic model's performance was very closeto that of the empirically derived models. Thus, our findingssupport Lovie & Lovie's (1986) challenge to the conventionalwisdom that the flat maximum casts a pall on the successfulmodelling of judgement processes. Indeed, the flat maximum impliesa positive role for simpler, and hence cheaper, generic models.Although further research is needed, it should be possible todevelop hybrid models with generic cores that perform as wellas empirically derived linear models. 相似文献
