Abstract

Credit feasibility analysis is important for lenders to avoid the risk among the increasement of credit applications. This analysis can be carried out by the classification technique. Classification technique used in this research is instance-based classification. These techniques tend to be simple, but are very dependent on the determination of K values. K is number of nearest neighbor considered for class classification of new data. A small value of K is very sensitive to outliers. This weakness can be overcome using an algorithm that is able to handle outliers, one of them is Mutual K-Nearest Neighbor (MKNN). MKNN removes outliers first, then predicts new observation classes based on the majority class of their mutual nearest neighbors. The algorithm will be compared with KNN without outliers. The model is evaluated by 10-fold cross validation and the classification performance is measured by Gemoetric-Mean of sensitivity and specificity. Based on the analysis the optimal value of K is 9 for MKNN and 3 for KNN, with the highest G-Mean produced by KNN is equal to 0.718, meanwhile G-Mean produced by MKNN is 0.702. The best alternative to classifying credit feasibility in this study is K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm with K=3.Keywords: Classification, Credit, MKNN, KNN, G-Mean.
