This study evaluates the effectiveness of statistical and machine learning models in credit risk assessment, comparing traditional methods like logistic regression with advanced techniques such as Decision Trees, SVM, Neural Networks, and GBM. The results demonstrate that Neural Networks and GBM achieve the highest predictive accuracy (0.88 and 0.87, respectively), excelling in capturing complex borrower behaviors. Conversely, logistic regression, though more interpretable, shows a lower accuracy of 0.75, highlighting its limitations. The paper underscores the balance needed between model complexity and interpretability, especially in regulatory settings, and provides practical insights for optimizing credit risk assessment models.
