Abstract

Correlation matrices play a crucial role in assessing credit loan eligibility, where missing data can significantly impact the results. In this paper, we address these challenges by employing different approaches that tackle two aspects of the problem: transforming a partially specified matrix into a fully specified correlation matrix and completing a partially specified matrix while preserving the known data. The correlation problem is effectively solved using the interior point primal-dual path-following method. To provide comprehensive insights, this paper presents a thorough comparative analysis of our proposed methods, comparing them with approaches that utilize the modified alternating projection method. The efficacy and computational efficiency of the proposed methods are evaluated by analyzing numerical results.
