1. A computerized expert credit recommendation system useful for credit analysis automation and training credit analysts, comprising:
- a) an input means for entering data in response to screen messages;
b) an output means;
c) a programmable digital computer in association with(i) a database management computer program, which prompts in a predetermined sequence of queries which emulate the reasoning of an expert credit analyst through the output means, a user to enter through the input means, in a predetermined order, data relating to criteria used in making credit recommendations, and which manages such input data;
(ii) a knowledge base containing a plurality of predetermined and defined standardized rating values relating to data on criteria(iii) an expert credit recommendation computer program;
which manipulates and performs operations on the input data in association with the database management program and the knowledge basewherein the digital computer utilizes the expert credit recommendation computer program in conjunction with the data input by the user to assign to each of the criteria a standardized rating value from the knowledge base and to utilize such assigned standardized rating value to simulate a plurality of decision matrices arranged in a defined decision matrix tree series, having a financial branch and a dealer rating branch;
wherein, for each branch point in the matrix tree series the system determines and assigns a defined standardized rating value to a resulting criterion;
which standardized rating value is applied in a subsequent decision matrix until a final decision matrix is reached; and
wherein after all the data has been entered by the user in the predetermined sequence of queries, the system generates an overall rating which is displayed to the user on the output means specified by the standardized rating value assigned to a final criterion resulting from the financial branch and the standardized rating value assigned to a final criterion resulting from the dealer rating branch.

4. A method of determining a credit recommendation, comprising:
-
a) providing to a computer comprising an input means and an output means, a database management program and an expert credit recommendation computer program; the computer and the expert recommendation computer program operating to simulate a plurality of decision matrices utilizing standardized rating values, said matrices being configured in a defined decision matrix tree series, comprising a financial branch and a dealer rating branch; wherein the computer and the database management program prompt a user through the output means, via screen prompts generating in a pre-determined sequence and communicated to the output means, to enter data related to specific criteria in a sequence and manner which emulates the reasoning of an expert credit analyst; b) entering the data related to the criteria through the input means, in response to the prompts; c) determining and assigning a defined standardized rating value to the data relating to the criteria for which data has been entered, and applying the standardized rating values assigned to those criteria and to the resulting criteria to the decision matrices in a predetermined manner according to the defined decision matrix tree series until a final decision matrix is reached; and d) comparing the defined standardized rating value assigned to a final resulting criterion from the financial branch against a final resulting criterion from the dealer rating branch in the final decision matrix to arrive at an overall rating. - View Dependent Claims (5, 8)
