In this book we aim at applying machine learning models to classify the borrowers with and without loan default from a group of predicting variables and evaluate their performance.
As a part of building a model to predict loan default, we have submitted in detail the introduction of the problem, exploratory data analysis (EDA), data cleaning and pre-processing, model building, interpretation, model tuning, model validation, and final interpretation & recommendations.
Under the current project of loan default forming part of predictive analytics of business analytics and intelligence, we have studied research-based review parameters in detail which have also been annexed for ready reference as Annexure I. Data dictionary has been annexed as Annexure-2. R. Code for the same is provided at the URL which can be downloaded from www.drvvlnsastry.com/businessanalytics/data
The study finds out that logistic regression is the best model to classify those applicants with loan default.
