Advanced statistical methods for credit risk modeling in practice

In the past 10-15 years logistic regression became best pracice for probability of default (PD) modeling in commercial banks. The aim of this presentation is to present pros and cons between this relatively simple technique and alternative modeling methods such as gradient boosting, random forests and neural networks. We will also discuss practical issues such as handling missing values, low default rates, low number of observations.
