Description
This intensive course is designed to equip participants with practical skills in building and validating credit risk models using Python, focusing on the development and implementation of scorecards. This course combines theory with hand-on applications for developing, validating and calibrating the credit risk scorecards.In this course you will learn fundamental credit risk concepts, step-by-step methodologies for developing behavioral scorecards using python, Implementing statistical techniques essential for credit scoring which includes logistic regression, Gini Coefficient, Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis, Rank Ordering, Weight of Evidence (WOE), Fine and Coarse Classing. In this course you will also acquire skills in handling and analyzing data, dealing with missing data, outliers, and variable transformations to prepare data for modeling. You will also understand various techniques which are applied for internal validation of scorecards, including back-testing, benchmarking and calibration.Throughout the course, you will learn to leverage powerful Python libraries and frameworks, such as Pandas, Scikit-learn, NumPy and Matplotlib, for credit risk modeling. These tools will help you ensure robustness, accuracy, and efficiency in developing and validating credit risk scorecards.This course is perfect for credit analysts, risk managers, financial controllers and all finance professionals involved in risk assessment who wish to enhance their modeling skills using python and develop a through understanding of scorecard development and validation.
