The shape of an ROC curve in the evaluation of credit scoring models
PublicationThe AUC, i.e. the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, or its scaled version, the Gini coefficient, are the standard measures of the discriminatory power of credit scoring. Using binormal ROC curve models, we show how the shape of the curves affects the economic benefits of using scoring models with the same AUC. Based on the results, we propose that the shape parameter of the fitted ROC curve is reported...

A Hyperdense Semantic Domain for Discontinuous Behavior in Physical System Models
PublicationMultiple time models have been proposed for the formalization of hybrid dynamic system behavior. The superdense notion of time is a well-known time model for describing event-based systems where several events can occur simultaneously. Hyperreals provide a domain for defining the semantics of hybrid models that is elegantly aligned with first principles in physics. This paper discusses the value of both time models and shows how...
