Predicting if a client is worth giving a loan-credit scoring-is one of the most essential and popular problems in banking. Predictive models for this goal are built on the assumption that there is a dependency between the client's profile before the loan approval and their future behavior....

We estimate the distribution of marginal propensities to consume (MPCs) using a new approach based on the fuzzy C-means algorithm (Dunn 1973; Bezdek 1981). The algorithm generalizes the K-means methodology of Bonhomme and Manresa (2015) to allow for uncertain group assignment and to recover...
