DEVELOPMENT OF A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR DENIAL OF HOME MORTGAGE
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to build a predictive model for the denial of home mortgage in Washington state using logistic regression model.
Methods: A public database was used in this study. A logistic regression was used. Area under curve, optional cutoff point, mis-classification error, sensitivity and specificity were calculated.
Results: A total of49324(19.3%) home mortgage applications out of 255379 had were denied. According to the logistic regression, refinancing was 339.1% more likely to get denied. Home improvement was 291.8% more likely to get denied. Black were 77.8% more likely to get denied, Asian 33.5% more likely and Hispanic 36.3% more likely, and other race were 62.3% more likely to get denied. FHA, FSARHS and VA were more likely to get denied. People without co-applicants were 59.1% more likely to get a denial.
The area under curve was 0.7052. The optional cutoff point is 0.459. The mis-classification error was 0.1905. the sensitivity rate is about 5.4% and the specificity is 99.0%.
Conclusions: In this study, we identified several important predictors for the denial of home mortgage in Washington State in 2016, for example, race, mortgage type.
Keywords:
1. Instruction
There are 5 most common reasons why a home mortgage loan application could be denied: Poor Credit History; Insufficient Income/Asset Documentation; Down Payment is Too Small; Problems With the Property; Inadequate Employment History.
Recent news articles suggest that the significantly higher mortgage denial rates for black and Hispanic
borrowers establish the presence of racial discrimination in mortgage lending.
This study aims to build a predictive model for the denial of home mortgage in Washington state using logistic regression model.
2. Data and Methods:
Data:
Inside this data set contains 466.566 observations of Washington State home loans - variables
include; demographic information, area specific data, loan status, property type, loan type, loan purpose and originating agency. The data is available at: https://www.kaggle.com/miker400/washington-state-home-mortgage-hdma2016.
Optimal Cutoff for Binary Classification maximizes the accuracy.
Mis-Classification Error is the proportion of all events that were incorrectly classified, for a given probability cutoff score.
Sensitivity: probability that a test result will be positive when the disease is present (true positive rate.
Specificity: probability that a test result will be negative when the disease is not present (true negative rate, expressed as a percentage). e, expressed as a percentage).
3. Results
A total of 49324(19.3%) home mortgage applications out of 255379 had were denied.
