A Genetic Algorithm Model for Personal Credit Scoring

Nowadays, personal credit scoring models have played a vitally important part for many organizations in keeping away from credit risks. This paper establishes a personal credit scoring model via one of data mining approaches---genetic algorithm, which is a useful method applied to solve credit scoring problems. And the experiment of this model is proved to its high efficiency and evaluated its significant value on credit scoring.
