1	Prediction of Credit Risk using Machine Learning Models Isaac, Philip January 2022 (has links) This thesis aims to investigate different machine learning (ML) models and their performance to find the best performing model to predict credit risk at a specific company. Since granting credit to corporate customers is a part of this company's core business, managing the credit risk is of high importance. The company has of today only one credit risk measurement, which is obtained through an external company, and the goal is to find a model that outperforms this measurement. The study consists of two ML models, Logistic Regression (LR) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting. This thesis proves that both methods perform better than the external risk measurement and the LR method achieves the overall best performance. One of the most important analyses done in this thesis was handling the dataset and finding the best-suited combination of features that the ML models should use.
