Dear R helpers,

Hi I am working on credit scoring model using logistic regression. I have main 
sample of 42500 clentes and based on their status as regards to defaulted / non 
- defaulted, I have genereted the probability of default.

I have a hold out sample of 5000 clients. I have calculated (1) No of correctly 
classified goods Gg, (2) No of correcly classified Bads Bg and also (3) number 
of wrongly classified bads (Gb) and (4) number of wrongly classified goods (Bg).

My prolem is how to interpret these results? What I have arrived at are the 
absolute figures. Using these I hav ecalculated Specificity (SPEC) and 
sensitivity (SENS) as

SPEC = Bb / (Bb + Gg)

and SENS = Gg / (Gg + Bg)


With regards

Maithili

Sensitivity and specificity have no usefulness in your situation as they are in reverse time order (condition on the unknown and fail to condition on what was already known). Your test sample is too small. You are not addressing absolute calibration through precise high-resolution methods. My book Regression Modeling Strategies goes into this.
