A method and system for evaluating the performance of a study group of loans relative to the performance of a control group of loans is presented. The described method includes determining a study group and a control group from a portfolio of individual loans, determining a set of control variables associated with each of the individual loans included in the study group and the control group, partitioning the control group into one or more cells based on the set of control variables, calculating an estimated performance value for each of the individual loans in the study group based on the cells; and calculating a performance difference for the study group. The performance difference has a standard normal distribution with zero mean which allows statistical significance to be estimated using standard probability tables. The control group may either include or exclude the individual loans in the study group to eliminate inaccuracies.

Method and system for assessing loan credit risk and performance

A method of determining a probability of an adverse event in connection with a loan (such as, delinquency, default, or prepayment) based on a predetermined set of loan parameters comprises determining whether loan variable data is available for each of the loan parameters. If loan variable data is available for each of the loan parameters, the probability of delinquency within a period of time is estimated as a function of the loan variable data. If loan variable data is not available, the probability of delinquency within a period of time is estimated by imputing the loan variable data that is not available.
