A new hybrid ensemble model with voting-based outlier detection and balanced sampling for credit scoring

作者:

Highlights:

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

• The outlier adaptability is enhanced by the voting-based outlier detection method.

• The under-sampling method is extended to handle data imbalance.

• The stacking-based ensemble enhances the predictive power of the proposed model.

• The proposed model outperforms the benchmark ensemble models.
