How I can change the cutoff?

[nicopalacios]

Hello everyone!

I have a problem. I'm doing a credit scoring model, and the cutoff of probability is 0.50. How should I do to change the cutoff?

There are a couple ways to do this.

First you determine a good cutoff value (for example you can use Event Precision equals Recall option as suggested in ).

Next, you use a Score node to generate the optimize score code that you would put into production. And you change the value directly on the score code.

Another alternative would be to use the score code as it is to generate the predicted probabilities and write your own code to assign predicted events based on a new cutoff for the posterior probability.

I hope this helps!

Hi Miguel, thanks for your answer.

I can not find where to change the cutoff. I tried in modificarle the "User imput," but it turns out to see the "data exported" continues using 0.50 as the cutoff. And in the Score node can not find an option to change the cutoff. What would be the correct procedure? Scorecard > Cutoff > Score?

The cutoff node is just for analysis, but it will not change the cutoff on your score code. Use it just to find the value of the cutoff.

Once you have found a good value, and you are ready to put your code into production, run a Score node to get the optimized score code and manually change the 0.5 for some other value. By manually change I mean that you will hardcode this value when you put the score code in the environment you are planning to use for scoring new observations.

Does that help?

Thanks,

excellent!
