Basic Lifetime PD Model Validation

This example shows how to perform basic model validation on a lifetime probability of default (PD) model by viewing the fitted model, estimated coefficients, and p-values. For more information on model validation, see modelDiscrimination and modelCalibration.

Fit Model and Review Model Goodness of Fit

Create training and test datasets to perform a basic model validation.

nIDs = max(data.ID);
uniqueIDs = unique(data.ID);

rng('default'); % for reproducibility
c = cvpartition(nIDs,'HoldOut',0.4);

TrainIDInd = training(c);
TestIDInd = test(c);

TrainDataInd = ismember(data.ID,uniqueIDs(TrainIDInd));
TestDataInd = ismember(data.ID,uniqueIDs(TestIDInd));

Fit the model using fitLifetimePDModel for a Logistic, Probit, or Cox model.

ModelType = "probit";
pdModel = fitLifetimePDModel(data(TrainDataInd,:),ModelType,...
    'AgeVar','YOB',...
    'IDVar','ID',...
    'LoanVars','ScoreGroup',...
    'MacroVars',{'GDP','Market'},...
    'ResponseVar','Default');
disp(pdModel)
  Probit with properties:

            ModelID: "Probit"
        Description: ""
    UnderlyingModel: [1x1 classreg.regr.CompactGeneralizedLinearModel]
              IDVar: "ID"
             AgeVar: "YOB"
           LoanVars: "ScoreGroup"
          MacroVars: ["GDP"    "Market"]
        ResponseVar: "Default"
         WeightsVar: ""

Display the PD model and review the fit statistics, such as the p-values.

disp(pdModel.UnderlyingModel)
Compact generalized linear regression model:
    probit(Default) ~ 1 + ScoreGroup + YOB + GDP + Market
