I’m working with historical credit performance data and would like to build a transition matrix to predict defaults and delinquencies. I can model the transition between states (ie current - delinquent) based on some covariates using a logit or other technique. Can I assemble a transition matrix simply from the predicted state-to-state probabilities or is it more complicated?

    $\begingroup$ openscholarship.wustl.edu/cgi/… Describes building a conditional Markov chain with multinomial logistic regression to set the transition probabilities. I’m thinking of doing the same thing, but modeling state transitions with machine learning techniques - im hoping to understand what can go wrong with this approach. Thanks for the feedback! $\endgroup$
