Abstract

In this study, we use least square support vector machines (LSSVM) to construct a credit scoring model and introduce conjoint analysis technique to analyze the relative importance of each input feature for making the decision in the model. A test based on a real-world credit dataset shows that the proposed model has good classification accuracy and can help explain the decision. Hence, it is an alternative model for credit scoring tasks.
