An exploration of alternative features in micro-finance loan default prediction models by Stone, Devon

“…This minor dissertation focuses on investigating whether alternative features generated from Short Messaging Service (SMS) data and Android application data contained on borrowers' devices can be used to improve the performance of loan default prediction models. The improvement gained by using alternative features is measured by comparing loan default prediction models trained using only traditional credit scoring data to models developed using a combination of traditional and alternative features. …”

Calibration of a FOSIM Model for a Section of the N2 Freeway in Cape Town: Weaving Section at an Off-Ramp by Dlamini, Bongani

“…Finally, it is recommended that future studies explore a sensitivity analysis which will consider interactive effect between model parameters. It is also recommended that a more generalized models with an acceptable margin of error be developed to avoid overfitting and to enable the models to be applicable on a wider network range…”
