Forecasting peer-to-peer platform default rate with LSTM neural network

作者:

Highlights:

• Monthly default rate is essential for revealing the health of a P2P lending platform.

• LSTM models are proposed for P2P lending platform monthly default rate forecast.

• LSTM models can extract and memorize the time series information of default rate.

• Models’ comparation is under two cross-validation methods and three time-dimensions.

• LSTM outperforms several benchmark methods in both prediction and trend accuracy.
