Adaptive Fuzzy Network Partitioning, Data-Driven Decision Making, Hybrid Approach, Rough Set Theory, Rule GenerationAbstract
Data-driven decision making is vital in credit risk assessment and other areas. Complex datasets are hard to rule. We use adaptive fuzzy network partitioning, rough set theory, and rule generation to improve data-driven credit risk assessment. An adaptive fuzzy network partitioning algorithm is used to cluster the dataset. Each cluster instance receives fuzzy membership degrees. Next, rough set-based attribute reduction identifies credit risk assessment attributes inside each cluster. Finally, attributes are used to build accurate and understandable credit risk assessment criteria. A loan application dataset is used to test the suggested method. The results show successful loan application clustering and the creation of credit risk criteria for each cluster. Accurate predictions and interpretable rules improve credit risk assessment comprehension and decision-making. By merging adaptive fuzzy network partitioning, rough set theory, and rule generation, the hybrid methodology overcomes classic technique constraints. These methods create a comprehensive framework for credit risk assessment criteria that improves accuracy and interpretability. Financial institutions and credit providers may benefit from the approach. The proposed approach can be tested in multiple domains and extended to handle increasingly complicated datasets. Evaluating the methodology on real-world datasets and comparing it to existing methods can also reveal its practicality and efficacy. This research generates accurate and interpretable rules for data-driven credit risk assessment using a hybrid method. Adaptive fuzzy network partitioning, rough set theory, and rule generation can improve decision-making across domains
