Provided is an automated process for producing accurate statistical models from sample data tables. The process solves for the optimal parameters of each statistical model considered, computes test statistics and degrees of freedom in the model, and uses these test statistics and degrees of freedom to establish a complete ordering of the statistical models. In cases where the sample data table is sufficiently small, the process constructs and analyzes all reasonable statistical models that might fit the data table provided. In cases where the number of possible models is prohibitively high, the process begins by constructing and solving more general models and then constructs and solves those more detailed models that are similar to those general models that achieved the highest ordering. In either of these two cases, the process arrives at a statistical model that is highest in the ordering and is thus deemed most suitable to model the sample data table. The result of this process is a statistical model deemed to be most suitable to model the sample data table and a set of average table values produced by this resulting model. This resulting table may include modeled values for table entries for which no initial data was supplied. This invention finds application in the area of credit scoring, where covariates such as age, profession, gender, and credit history are used to determine the likelihood that an individual will default on a loan.
