Credit acceptance process strategy case studies - the power of Credit Scoring
The paper is aware of the importance of certain figures that are essential to
an understanding of Credit Scoring models in credit acceptance process
optimization, namely if the power of discrimination measured by Gini value is
increased by 5% then the profit of the process can be increased monthly by
about 1 500 kPLN (300 kGBP, 500 kUSD, 350 kEUR). Simple business models of
credit loans are also presented: acquisition - installment loan (low price) and
cross-sell - cash loans (high price). Scoring models are used to optimize
process, to become profitable. Various acceptance strategies with different
cutoffs are presented, some are profitable and some are not. Moreover, in a
time of prosperity some are preferable whilst the inverse is true during a
period of high risk or crisis. To optimize the process four models are
employed: three risk models, to predict the probability of default and one
typical propensity model to predict the probability of response. It is a simple
but very important example of the Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV or CLV) model
business, where risk and response models are working together to become a
profitable process.Comment: 38 pages, 5 figure

Null K\"ahler structures, Symmetries and Integrability
We review the integrable systems which arise as symmetry reductions of
Plebanski's heavenly equations, and their generalisations. We also show that
all four-dimensional null Kahler-Einstein (or type N hyper-heavenly) metrics
with symmetry can be found from solutions to a variable coefficient
generalisation of the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation.Comment: Text of a talk given at the conference on "Mathematical Physics,
General Relativity and Cosmology", held in honour of Professor Jerzy

Killing Symmetries in -Spaces with
All Killing symmetries in complex -spaces with in
terms of the Pleba\'nski - Robinson - Finley coordinate system are found. All
-metrics with admitting a null Killing vector are
explicitly given. It is shown that the problem of non-null Killing vector
reduces to looking for solution of the Boyer - Finley - Pleba\'nski (Toda
field) equatio
Linear Hilbertian manifold domains
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a dense subspace of a Hilbert space
to be a linear Hilbertian manifold domain are given. Some relations between
linear Hilbertian manifold domains and domains of self-adjoint operators are
found.Comment: 9 pages, Late
On twisting type Ricci flat complex spacetimes with two homothetic symmetries
spaces of type with
twisting congruence of null geodesics defined by the 4-fold undotted and dotted
Penrose spinors are investigated. It is assumed that these spaces admit two
homothetic symmetries. The general form of the homothetic vector fields are
found. New coordinates are introduced which enable us to reduce the
system of PDEs to one ODE on one holomorphic function. In a
special case this is a second-order ODE and its general solution is explicitly
given. In the generic case one gets rather involved fifth-order ODE
Generalized Weyl quantization on the cylinder and quantum phase
Generalized Weyl quantization formalism for the cylindrical phase space is developed. It is shown that the quantum observables
relevant to the phase of linear harmonic oscillator or electromagnetic field
can be represented within this formalism by the self-adjoint operators on the
Hilbert space
Consumer finance data generator - a new approach to Credit Scoring technique comparison
This paper aims to present a general idea of method comparison of Credit
Scoring techniques. Any scorecard can be made in various methods based on
variable transformations in the logistic regression model. To make a comparison
and come up with the proof that one technique is better than another is a big
challenge due to the limited availability of data. The same conclusion cannot
be guaranteed when using other data from another source. The following research
challenge can therefore be formulated: how should the comparison be managed in
order to get general results that are not biased by particular data? The
solution may be in the use of various random data generators. The data
generator uses two approaches: transition matrix and scorings. Here are
presented both: results of comparison methods and the methodology of these
comparison techniques creating. Before building a new model the modeler can
undertake a comparison exercise that aims at identifying the best method in the
case of the particular data. Here are presented various measures of predictive
model like: Gini, Delta Gini, VIF and Max p-value, emphasizing the
multi-criteria problem of a "Good model". The idea that is being suggested is
of particular use in the model building process where there are defined complex
criteria trying to cover the important problems of model stability over a
period of time, in order to avoid a crisis. Some arguments for choosing Logit
or WOE approach as the best scorecard technique are presented.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures, 7 table
Notes on thermodynamics in special relativity
Foundations of thermodynamics in special theory of relativity are considered.
We argue that from the phenomenological point of view the correct relativistic
transformations of heat and absolute temperature are given by the formulae
proposed by H. Ott, H. Arzeli\`{e}s and C. M\oller. It is shown that the same
transformation rules can be also found from the relativistic Gibbs distribution
for ideal gas. This distribution has been recently verified by the computer
simulations. Phenomenological and statistical thermometers in relativistic
thermodynamics are analysed.Comment: 18 pages. Considerations devoted to accelerated systems exchanging
particles have been added. Notation has been improved. References have been
added and update
