Abstract:

The essence of credit rating is to measure the default probability of a loan, specifically, credit rating decreases with the increase of the default probability. Small industrial enterprises with less information available are not fully covered by financial analysts at home and abroad and that's why the credit rating model proposed in the existing researches for small industrial enterprises is defective. In this paper we use Wilcoxon test to establish a credit rating model for small industrial enterprises. There are three aspects of innovations and features in this paper. Firstly, the Wilcoxon method is applied to select features to establish a credit rating index system, which ensures that the index system can distinctly discriminate the default status of an enterprise; secondly, the run test is applied to evaluate the performance of the index system, which can do the validation of the credit rating model. Thirdly, index weight is determined on the basis of the regular pattern that the stronger ability an index has to discriminate the default status, the greater the weight is. The index system established this way successfully solves the problem in existing researches that the weight of an indicator does not match its ability of distinguishing the default state.

Key words: credit rating, small business credit rating, wilcoxon test, run test, default discrimination
