In order to estimate probability of default, banks and other financial institutions have often used logistic regression based on data involving credit history.

Suppose an entrepreneur or borrower with little credit or business history goes to a bank or some financial institution to borrow money.

Banks can use, as an alternative to a credit or business history, 'psychometric' or 'behavioural' tests. Hence, the bank will use some psychometric data, instead or with credit history data when using logistic regression to estimate probability of default.

How can Bayesian inference improve upon such logistic regression wherein psychometric data is used?

I previously asked about the Bayesian logit model and psychometrics.

So far, all I found are these EFL papers: 1 2

Anyone know any other literature out there?

    $\begingroup$ There's really nothing special about psychometric data in this regard, all of the usual advantages (and disadvantages) of Bayesian analyses, which have been well covered in your CrossValidated question, apply as well to psychometric data as to any other kind of analysis. What are you hoping to learn here? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks @Eoin ! Which part in the CV question gives an advantage of Bayesian analyses? It seems to explain it. I don't see any advantages involved $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I think this is a suitable question. Bayesian analyses ask different questions than frequentist analyses, and that difference matters more in behavioral science than other areas. $\endgroup$
