There are several credit scoring methods that are used by Banks. One of them is to estimate whether a credit demanding customer¡¯s repayment order will be regular or not. In this study, artificial neural networks and logistic regression analysis have been used to provide a support to the Banks¡¯ credit risk prediction and to estimate whether a credit demanding customers¡¯ repayment order will be regular or not. The results of the study showed that artificial neural networks method is more reliable than logistic regression analysis while estimating a credit demanding customer¡¯s repayment order. %K Artificial Neural Networks %K Logistic Regression %K Credit Risk Prediction %U http://www.ajit-e.org/download_pdf.php?id=58&f=58_rev1.pdf
