Abstract: A cross-sectional model is provided that determines the relationship between macroeconomic factors and the odds to score relationship of a scoring model. The cross-sectional model takes economic data from various economic regions, as opposed to time periods, as input, and produces, as output, a prediction of the curve-of-best fit that relates a score to a probability (i.e., the probability of the outcome in question such as paying back a loan or filing an insurance claim, etc.). Related systems, methods and articles are also described.
