SupTech workshop on big data analytics

Our activities in the FIN-TECH risk management project have started with the first SupTech workshop at the Czech National Bank. The workshop was held at the Congress Center of the CNB during March 14-15, 2019. The first workshop was devoted to the training of CNB employees in big data analytics necessary for the analysis of credit risk in peer-to-peer lending. Given the diverse background of participants, we have focused on the explanation of basic statistical concepts, gradually introducing more advanced machine learning methods. We have accompanied the explanation of theoretical concepts with hands-on examples in statistical programming in R. We have received great feedback from participants praising clear, straightforward, broad and inspiring training. Participants noted that they were able to follow the contents of the workshop even without previous experience in statistical modelling.
