Hands-On Machine Learning for Credit Risk Analytics - Masterclass in Python & SAS
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Monday, 14 September & Tuesday, 15 September 2020

Details:

  • Central venue: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management (Adickesallee 32-34, 60322 Frankfurt am Main), within easy reach of Frankfurt International Airport and Frankfurt Main Station and a broad range of hotels
  • Topics you don't want to miss:
    • Demystify machine learning techniques and learn how to successfully apply them for credit risk prediction using real data
    • "Boost" your PD models
    • Learn how to program decision trees, random forests, neural networks (and more) for default and PD prediction from scratch
    • See how efficient feature selection is implemented
    • Compare and interpret various train/test/validation-split strategies specific for credit risk
    • Create your own cross-validation strategies
    • Apply various under-/over-/synthetic-sampling strategies
    • Learn how to compare model outputs: stability, discrimination (ROC and CAP) and calibration 
    • Forecasting PDs: TTC and PIT
    • LGDs: discount rates and selection bias
    • Prepayment models for mortgage and corporate loans
    • CECL and IFRS 9 models for multi-period risks
  • Speakers: Professor Daniel Roesch and Professor Harald Scheule, course is in English language
  • Content: in this course, we will develop hands-on credit risk solutions. All examples will be implemented on site using real credit data with over 622,000 observations with 15,000 default and loss observations, over 250 teaching slides and approximately 1,500 lines of code. Here are some examples (click on links)
    • Example 1: Validation using the area under the ROC curve
    • Example 2: Decision Trees
    • Example 3: Predicting lifetime expected losses for CECL and IFRS 9
  • Please bring your laptops. All executions in parallel on multiple screens using Python and SAS. Python is open source, SAS will be provided in the cloud. Wifi access is available
  • Outcomes:  after this course you will have a good understanding of current challenges in the credit risk industry, merits and pitfalls of various methods, have successfully built your own models from real world credit data
  • A confirmation of 12 hours of continuing professional development will be provided upon completion of the Masterclass
