In the current conditions of economic development, it is important to pay attention to the study of the main types of risks, effective methods of evaluation, monitoring, analysis of banking risks. One of the main approaches to quantitatively assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers is credit scoring. The objective of credit scoring is to optimize management decisions regarding the possibility of providing bank loans. In the article, the scientific and methodological provisions concerning the formation of a regression model for assessing bank risks in the process of granting loans to borrowers has been proposed. The proposed model is based on the use of logistic regression tools, discriminant analysis with the use of expert evaluation. During the formation of a regression model, the relationship between risk factors and probable magnitude of loan risk has been established. In the course of calculations, the coefficient of the individual's solvency has been calculated. Direct computer data preparation, including the calculation of the indicators selected in the process of discriminant analysis, has been carried out in the Excel package environment, followed by their import into the STATISTICA package for analysis in the “Logistic regression” sub-module of the “Nonlinear evaluation” module. The adequacy of the constructed model has been determined using the Macfaden's likelihood ratio index. The calculated value of the Macfaden's likelihood ratio index indicates the adequacy of the constructed model. The ability to issue loans to new clients has been evaluated using a regression model. The conducted calculations show the possibility of granting a loan exclusively to the second and third clients. The offered method allows to conduct assessment of client's solvency and risk prevention at different stages of lending, facilitates the possibility to independently make informed decisions on credit servicing of clients and management of a loan portfolio, optimization of management decisions in banks. In order for a loan-based model to continue to perform its functions, it must be periodically adjusted.

Credit risk prediction is essential for banks and financial institutions as it helps them to evade any inappropriate assessments that can lead to wasted opportunities or monetary losses. In recent times, the hybrid prediction model, a combination of traditional and modern artificial intelligence (AI) methods that provides better prediction capacity than the use of single techniques, has been introduced. Similarly, using conventional and topical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, researchers have recommended hybrid models which amalgamate logistic regression (LR) with multilayer perceptron (MLP). To investigate the efficiency and viability of the proposed hybrid models, we compared 16 hybrid models created by combining logistic regression (LR), discriminant analysis (DA), and decision trees (DT) with four types of neural network (NN): adaptive neurofuzzy inference systems (ANFISs), deep neural networks (DNNs), radial basis function networks (RBFs) and multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). The experimental outcome, investigation, and statistical examination express the capacity of the planned hybrid model to develop a credit risk prediction technique different from all other approaches, as indicated by ten different performance measures. The classifier was authenticated on five real-world credit scoring data sets.

Credit risk problem is an essential problem in financial management area. People usually employ personal credit scoring to avoid financial risk problem. Although many methods have been proposed for evaluating the personal credit scoring and obtained good effects, most of these methods were called single model types, which would be disturbed by model self-parameter, data noise and other external factors. In order to overcome the weakness of single model, we believe one of best ways is to construct an ensemble model. In this paper, we proposed a new style of ensemble model and employed two public credit datasets to certify the validity of our ensemble model. The experimental result shows that the ensemble SOM-SVM model can overcome the single model weakness and improve the accuracy of classification, which is good for constructing a better credit scoring system in future.
