Projects

  • UCI Credit Data Analysis

    · Performed multivariate statistical analysis to determine importance of variables and its credibility.
    · PCA was used to reduce dimensionality, feature engineering was used to extract more meaningful variables.
    · A Classifier model was developed using Logistic Regression to predict 85% of the defaulters for the next month.

  • Predictive Analysis of German Credit

    Performed data analysis on a credit scoring dataset and developed model to predict good and bad credit risk for future applicants based on the credit of past applicants.
    • The Germen Credit data has 1000 past credit applicants, described by 30 predictors.
    • Explored the data to identify the patterns and variables of interest in the dataset.
    • Partitioned the data into training and validation and developed decision tree.
    • Evaluated other types of decision tree – CART and J48 with…

    • Partitioned the data into training and validation and developed decision tree.
    • Evaluated other types of decision tree – CART and J48 with different tree parameters and pruning.
    • Calculated net profit and misclassification costs using the best model to determine the cutoff for the performance of future applicants.
