Gini in quality about toad HOT 9 CLOSED

@Mateko Could you supply a case for more details?

from toad.

@Secbone I'm trying to test my data, while IV values ​​seem like my function, then gini only returns values ​​from (42-43) for all variables in the dataset - which is definitely wrong.

from toad.

@Mateko the gini value is depends on data, so you can't say "the values is between 42 and 43" is wrong, could you supply a case, so we can find out if it is wrong?

BTW, the gini value in quality is conditional gini, not the gini value of the feature.

from toad.

Its looking like constat value, but is not, how the variable with 0.04 IV could have 43 gini??
I probably don't understand something

from toad.

@Mateko the gini value's formula in quality is , which is to use to measure the correlation between the feature and the target, you can see the order of values in your result, the higher the gini value is, the more useless the feature is.

from toad.

If corellation between feature and default its higher then this feature should be more usefull.

from toad.

@Mateko Yes, you can think the gini value as the negtive correlation value.

So u think its good to named it Gini in this place? Maybe be better to get there a default % and get a roc auc score from this?

from toad.

@Mateko Of course it is Gini. The ROC or AUC usually used in binary classification as model metrics, but in this place, it needs a value to measure features in many cases, not only binary.
So I think Gini in this place is not bad at least.
