A new hybrid ensemble credit scoring model based on classifiers consensus system approach

作者:

Highlights:

• A new hybrid ensemble model for credit scoring problem is proposed.

• An improved data filtering technique is developed based on GNG method.

• GNG with MARS combined proved to be better than applying them individually.

• Our model is validated on four performance measures over seven credit datasets.

• Classifiers decisions after consensus effectively improved prediction performance.
