本研究預測違約機率的方法為:Binary Regression Quantiles(二元分量迴歸)，此理論基礎與預測方式是使用美國學者Grigorios Kordas(2004)的方法，將分量迴歸運用在應變數為二元的屬質變數上之計量方法。 最小平方法是目前最常見到的迴歸分析，但在古典線性迴歸模型中，應變數的解釋是來自於自變數的相對應的平均變化，而忽略了不同規模與分配下應變數的邊際變化，本文試圖以此方法和以最大概似估計法所建構出的Logit模型做一比較，而研究資料為台灣於民國85年至93年曾被列為全額交割類股的上市公司。 本研究發現Kordas (2004)的方法，雖然能將分量迴歸應用在屬質二元變數上，但是在預測方面相較於傳統Logit方法卻沒有出現較佳的預測能力。 / The method implemented in PD calculation in this study is “Binary Regression Quantiles”. The foundation of the research and the way to forecast is according to the Ph.D Thesis of Grigorios Kordas(2004). He apply the binary variable for Quantile Regression. The Ordinary Least Square is the most common way to regression analysis, but in the classic linear regression the change of dependent variable comes from the independent variable averagely. It neglects the marginal change of the dependent variable according to different scale and distribution. We want to compare the Binary Regression Quantiles with the Logit Regression. Although we could apply the binary variable for Quantile Regression successfully, the outcome of the forecast is not as efficient as the Logit Regression.

本研究所使用違約機率（Probability of Default, 以下簡稱PD）的預測方法為Robust Logistic Regression（穩健羅吉斯迴歸），本研究發展且應用這個方法是基於下列兩個觀察：1. 極端值常常出現在橫剖面資料，而且對於實證結果往往有很大地影響，因而極端值必須要被謹慎處理。2. 當使用Logit Model（羅吉斯模型）估計違約率時，卻忽略極端值。試圖不讓資料中的極端值對估計結果產生重大的影響，進而提升預測的準確性，是本研究使用Logit Model並混合Robust Regression（穩健迴歸）的目的所在，而本研究是第一篇使用Robust Logistic Regression來進行PD預測的研究。 變數的選取上，本研究使用Z-SCORE模型中的變數，此外，在考慮公司的營收品質之下，亦針對公司的應收帳款週轉率而對相關變數做了調整。 本研究使用了一些信用風險模型效力驗證的方法來比較模型預測效力的優劣，本研究的實證結果為：針對樣本內資料，使用Robust Logistic Regression對於整個模型的預測效力的確有提升的效果；當營收品質成為模型變數的考量因素後，能讓模型有較高的預測效力。最後，本研究亦提出了一些重要的未來研究建議，以供後續的研究作為參考。 / The method implemented in PD calculation in this study is “Robust Logistic Regression”. We implement this method based on two reasons: 1. In panel data, outliers usually exist and they may seriously influence the empirical results. 2. In Logistic Model, outliers are not taken into consideration. The main purpose of implementing “Robust Logistic Regression” in this study is: eliminate the effects caused by the outliers in the data and improve the predictive ability. This study is the first study to implement “Robust Logistic Regression” in PD calculation. The same variables as those in Z-SCORE model are selected in this study. Furthermore, the quality of the revenue in a company is also considered. Therefore, we adjust the related variables with the company’s accounts receivable turnover ratio. Some validation methodologies for default risk models are used in this study. The empirical results of this study show that: In accordance with the in-sample data, implementing “Robust Logistic Regression” in PD calculation indeed improves the predictive ability. Besides, using the adjusted variables can also improve the predictive ability. In the end of this study, some important suggestions are given for the subsequent studies.
