An assessment dataset is selected from an input dataset using a first stratified sampling process based on a value of an event assessment variable. A remainder of the input dataset is allocated to a training/validation dataset that is partitioned into an oversampled training/validation dataset using an oversampling process based on a predefined value of the event assessment variable. A validation sample is selected from the oversampled training/validation dataset using a second stratified sampling process based on the value of the event assessment variable. A training sample is selected from the oversampled training/validation dataset using the second stratified sampling process based on the value of the event assessment variable. The validation sample and the training sample are mutually exclusive. A predictive type model is trained using the selected training sample. A plurality of predictive type models are trained, validated, and scored using the samples to select a best predictive model.
