The Java code used to calculate the area under the ROC curve has been updated. This newer version uses trapezoids to compute the area (instead rectangles). This improvement allows more precise estimation. |

Explanations about the data: Some competitors have raised questions about the data found in some variable fields and this update is just to explain that these data were collected from an actual relational database in operation. Only some fields identifying clients and region have been either removed or modified, as previously stated. The list below exemplifies some types of discrepancies found on the database along the 5 years of data collection. |
| * Some fields represent potentially useful information or future services that have never been implemented (e.g. FLAG_CARD_INSURANCE_OPTION). |
| * Other variables started being collected from a given moment onwards (e.g. QUANT_DEPENDANTS). |
| * Some other fields were not compulsory and applicants only filled them when demanded at the application desk, maybe according to a temporary policy. |
| * The PERSONAL_REFERENCE fields contain the first name (in Portuguese) of the personal references |
