IBM Safer Payments v6.9: Modeling (6A930G)

In this course, all of the IBM Safer Payments model capabilities are presented in detail.

The following modelling concepts are covered: index, profiling techniques (with and without index sequence), model components comprised of rulesets, PMML, Python and Internal Random Forest, elements of the simulation environment including Rule Generation and Internal Random Forest, as well as the sampling techniques.

All these concepts will be followed by the hands-on exercises.
