Book Business Analytics and Business Intelligence Machine Learning Model to Predict Bank Loan Defaults

Download or read book Business Analytics and Business Intelligence Machine Learning Model to Predict Bank Loan Defaults written by dr. V.V.L.N. Sastry and published by Idea Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictive Analytics offers a unique opportunity to identify future trends and allows organizations to act upon them. In this book we are dealing with ‘loan default’ which is always a threat to banks and financial institutions and should be predicted in advance based on various features of the borrowers or applicants. 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.

Book Evolutionary Computation in Data Mining

Download or read book Evolutionary Computation in Data Mining written by Ashish Ghosh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-06-22 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data mining (DM) consists of extracting interesting knowledge from re- world, large & complex data sets; and is the core step of a broader process, called the knowledge discovery from databases (KDD) process. In addition to the DM step, which actually extracts knowledge from data, the KDD process includes several preprocessing (or data preparation) and post-processing (or knowledge refinement) steps. The goal of data preprocessing methods is to transform the data to facilitate the application of a (or several) given DM algorithm(s), whereas the goal of knowledge refinement methods is to validate and refine discovered knowledge. Ideally, discovered knowledge should be not only accurate, but also comprehensible and interesting to the user. The total process is highly computation intensive. The idea of automatically discovering knowledge from databases is a very attractive and challenging task, both for academia and for industry. Hence, there has been a growing interest in data mining in several AI-related areas, including evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The main motivation for applying EAs to KDD tasks is that they are robust and adaptive search methods, which perform a global search in the space of candidate solutions (for instance, rules or another form of knowledge representation).
