ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

The course gives both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to model a credit scorecard. During the course all necessary steps to develop a scorecard would be discussed and presented. Starting from data preparation (handling a missing data and outliers, derived variables preparation, data sampling), going through model estimation (i.e. logistic regression) and model quality assessment (discriminatory power, stability) and ending on optimal cut-off choice.

During the course examples would be presented in R.

Learning outcomes:

The students will learn how to perform a whole scorecard development project (from modeler perspective). Starting with data preparation (handling a missing data and outliers, derived variables preparation, data sampling), through model estimation (i.e. logistic regression) and model quality assessment (discriminatory power, stability) to optimal cut-off choice.

Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

All students will be obliged to:

• be present at the classes (according to common University of Warsaw rules),

• prepare a project (code + paper) in which they will present a comparison of different scorecards quality
