Probleme des Qualitätsvergleichs von Kreditausfallprognosen

Zusammenfassung

Die statistische Qualität von Kreditausfallprognosen lässt sich auf verschiedene Weise messen und vergleichen. Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel fasst die in der Literatur gemachten Vorschläge zusammen und diskutiert deren Eignung für Kreditausfallprognosen im Privatkundengeschäft. Es zeigt sich, dass nicht alle Qualitätskriterien hier gleichermaßen sinnvoll sind. Insbesondere scheinen die in der Meteorologie beliebten Brier Scores und verwandte Kriterien für diese Anwendungen eher schlecht geeignet.

Abstract

The statistical quality of credit default forecasts can be measured and compared in different ways. This article surveys the various approaches that have been suggested in the literature and discusses their respective properties. For the particular case of credit scoring in the retail business, it is shown that some quality criteria are more useful than others. In particular, various measures that are popular in, e.g. meteorology, such as the Brier score have to be applied with caution.
