Tobit

Create Tobit model object for exposure at default

Since R2021b

Description

Create and analyze a Tobit model object to calculate the exposure at default (EAD) using this workflow:

  1. Use fitEADModel to create a Tobit model object.

  2. Use predict to predict the EAD.

  3. Use modelDiscrimination to return AUROC and ROC data. You can plot the results using modelDiscriminationPlot.

  4. Use modelCalibration to return the R-squared, RMSE, correlation, and sample mean error of predicted and observed EAD data. You can plot the results using modelCalibrationPlot.

Creation

Description

TobitEADModel = fitEADModel(data,ModelType) creates a Tobit EAD model object.

example

TobitEADModel = fitEADModel(___,Name=Value) specifies options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax. The optional name-value arguments set the model object properties. For example, eadModel = fitEADModel(EADData,ModelType,PredictorVars={'UtilizationRate','Age','Marriage'},ConversionMeasure="ccf",DrawnVar='Drawn',LimitVar='Limit',ResponseVar='EAD') creates an eadModel object using a Tobit model type.

example

Input Arguments

expand all

Data for exposure at default, specified as a table.

Data Types: table

Model type, specified as a string with the value of "Tobit" or a character vector with the value of 'Tobit'.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: eadModel = fitEADModel(EADData,ModelType,PredictorVars={'UtilizationRate','Age','Marriage'},ConversionMeasure="ccf",DrawnVar='Drawn',LimitVar='Limit',ResponseVar='EAD')

User-defined model ID, specified as ModelID and a string or character vector. The software uses the ModelID text to format outputs and is expected to be short.

Data Types: string | char

User-defined description for model, specified as Description and a string or character vector.

Data Types: string | char

Predictor variables, specified as PredictorVars and a string array or cell array of character vectors. PredictorVars indicates which columns in the data input contain the predictor information. By default, PredictorVars is set to all the columns in the data input except for ResponseVar.

Data Types: string | cell

Response variable, specified as ResponseVar and a string or character vector. The response variable contains the EAD data and must be a numeric variable. By default, ResponseVar is set to the last column.

Data Types: string | char

Limit variable, specified as LimitVar and a string or character vector. LimitVar indicates which column in data contains the limit amount. The limit amount value in the data must be a positive numeric value. The limit depends on the loan. If its a credit card, the limit is the credit limit, and if this is a mortgage limit it is the initial loan amount. In general, LimitVar is the maximum amount that can be borrowed.

Note

LimitVar is required when ConversionMeasure is 'ccf' or 'lcf'. For more information on CCF and LCF, see Conversion Measure Options.

Data Types: string | char

Drawn variable, specified as DrawnVar and a string or character vector. DrawnVar is the balance on the account at the time of observation, prior to default and EAD is the balance at the time of default. DrawnVar indicates which column in data contains the drawn amount. The drawn variable value in the data can be a positive or negative numeric value.

Note

DrawnVar is required when ConversionMeasure is 'ccf'.

If the ConversionMeasure is 'lcf', DrawnVar is not required. In this case, DrawnVar is set to "".

For more information on CCF, see Conversion Measure Options.

Data Types: string | char

Response transform, specified as ConversionMeasure and a character vector or string.

  • "ccf" — Credit conversion factor (CCF) is the portion of the undrawn amount that will be converted into credit. The undrawn amount is the limit minus the drawn amount. The EAD thus becomes the drawn amount plus the CCF times the limit minus the drawn amount (EAD = Drawn + CCF*(Limit - Drawn)).

    Note

    A Tobit model with "ccf" can be unstable.

  • "lcf" — Limit conversion factor (LCF) is a fraction of the limit representing the total exposure. The EAD is then defined as the LCF times the limit (EAD = LCF*Limit).

For more information on CCF and LCF, see Conversion Measure Options.

Data Types: string | char

Censoring side, specified as CensoringSide and a character vector or string. CensoringSide indicates whether the desired Tobit model is left-censored, right-censored, or censored on both sides.

Data Types: string | char

Left-censoring limit, specified as LeftLimit and a scalar numeric between 0 and 1.

Data Types: double

Right-censoring limit, specified as RightLimit and a scalar numeric between 0 and 1.

Data Types: double

Options for fitting, specified as SolverOptions and an optimoptions object that is created using optimoptions from Optimization Toolbox™. The defaults for the optimoptions object are:

  • "Display""none"

  • "Algorithm""sqp"

  • "MaxFunctionEvaluations"500 ⨉ Number of model coefficients

  • "MaxIterations" — The number of Tobit model coefficients is determined at run time; it depends on the number of predictors and the number of categories in the categorical predictors.

Note

When using optimoptions with a Tobit model, specify the SolverName as fmincon.

Predict EAD

EAD prediction operates on the underlying compact statistical model and then transforms the predicted values back to the EAD scale. You can specify the predict function with different options for the 'ModelLevel' name-vale argument.

predictedEAD = predict(eadModel,EADData(TestInd,:),ModelLevel="ead");
predictedConversion = predict(eadModel,EADData(TestInd,:),ModelLevel="ConversionMeasure");

Validate EAD Model

For model validation, use modelDiscrimination, modelDiscriminationPlot, modelCalibration, and modelCalibrationPlot.

Use modelDiscrimination and then modelDiscriminationPlot to plot the ROC curve.

ModelLevel = "ConversionMeasure";

[DiscMeasure1,DiscData1] = modelDiscrimination(eadModel,EADData(TestInd,:),ModelLevel=ModelLevel);
modelDiscriminationPlot(eadModel,EADData(TestInd, :),ModelLevel=ModelLevel,SegmentBy="Marriage");

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title EAD_lcf ROC Segmented by Marriage, xlabel False Positive Rate, ylabel True Positive Rate contains 2 objects of type line. These objects represent Tobit, married, AUROC = 0.70789, Tobit, not married, AUROC = 0.70898.

Use modelCalibration and then modelCalibrationPlot to show a scatter plot of the predictions.

YData = "Observed";

[CalMeasure1,CalData1] = modelCalibration(eadModel,EADData(TestInd,:),ModelLevel=ModelLevel);
modelCalibrationPlot(eadModel,EADData(TestInd,:),ModelLevel=ModelLevel,YData=YData);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Scatter Tobit, R-Squared: 0.16231, xlabel EAD_lcf Predicted, ylabel EAD_lcf Observed contains 2 objects of type scatter, line. These objects represent Data, Fit.

Plot a histogram of observed with respect to the predicted EAD.

figure;
histogram(CalData1.Observed);
hold on;
histogram(CalData1.(('Predicted_' + ModelType)));
legend('Observed','Predicted');

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 2 objects of type histogram. These objects represent Observed, Predicted.
