🚀 RiskX - End-to-End Automated Risk Scoring Platform

v0.1.0 | Production-Ready Core | Credit • Fraud • Churn Risk Scoring

RiskX is a comprehensive, production-ready platform for automated risk scoring. Built for financial institutions, fintech companies, and data scientists working on credit scoring, fraud detection, and customer churn prediction.

🎯 What is RiskX?

RiskX provides an end-to-end automated workflow for risk scoring:

1. Data Loading - Multi-source data ingestion (CSV, Excel, SQL, APIs, Cloud)
2. Data Cleaning - Automated quality checks and preprocessing
3. Feature Engineering - Risk-specific features (WOE/IV, RFM, behavioral)
4. ML Training - AutoML with multiple algorithms (LR, RF, XGBoost, LightGBM)
5. Scoring - Real-time and batch scoring with interpretability
6. Monitoring - Model performance and data drift detection (coming soon)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Core installation (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn)
pip install riskx

# Full installation (includes XGBoost, LightGBM, Optuna, etc.)
pip install riskx[full]

# ML only (XGBoost, LightGBM, Optuna)
pip install riskx[ml]

# Data sources (SQL, APIs, Parquet, Excel)
pip install riskx[data]

Basic Usage

from riskx import RiskDataConnector, RiskCleaner, RiskFeatureEngine
from riskx import RiskAutoModel, ScoringEngine

# 1. Load data
connector = RiskDataConnector()
data = connector.from_csv("loan_applications.csv")

# 2. Clean data (automated)
cleaner = RiskCleaner()
data_clean = cleaner.auto_clean(data, target_column="default")

# 3. Engineer features (automated)
feature_engine = RiskFeatureEngine()
data_features = feature_engine.auto_features(data_clean, target="default")

# 4. Train models (AutoML)
model = RiskAutoModel()
X = data_features.drop("default", axis=1)
y = data_features["default"]
results = model.train_auto(X, y, algorithms=['logistic', 'rf', 'xgboost'])

# 5. Score new applications
scorer = ScoringEngine(model.get_best_model())
new_application = {
    "income": 75000,
    "credit_history_years": 8,
    "debt_to_income": 0.25,
    "age": 35
}
result = scorer.score_single(new_application)

print(f"Credit Score: {result['score']}")
print(f"Rating: {result['rating']}")
print(f"Risk Level: {result['risk_level']}")
print(f"Reason Codes: {result['reason_codes']}")

Output:

Credit Score: 742
Rating: Very Good
Risk Level: Low
Reason Codes: [
    {'code': 'RC1', 'feature': 'credit_history_years', 'importance': 0.35},
    {'code': 'RC2', 'feature': 'debt_to_income', 'importance': 0.28},
    {'code': 'RC3', 'feature': 'income', 'importance': 0.22}
]
