Classification of credit score

Objective:

The objective of this project is to develop a classification model that categorizes individuals into different credit score brackets. This helps in automating the process and providing quick assessments of creditworthiness.

Key Steps in the Project:

Data Collection:

Gather relevant financial data including income, credit history, debt-to-income ratio, etc.

Data Cleaning and Preprocessing:

Clean and preprocess the data. This involves handling missing values, removing duplicates, and ensuring data quality.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):

Analyze the data to understand the distribution of credit scores and the relationship between different features and creditworthiness.

Feature Engineering:

Create new features or variables that could improve the accuracy of the classification model.

Model Selection and Training:

Choose a classification algorithm (e.g., Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, etc.) and train it on the dataset.

Model Evaluation:

Assess the performance of the classification model using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

Model Interpretation:

Analyze the model to understand which features have the most impact on determining creditworthiness.

Recommendations:

Provide recommendations on how the credit score classification process can be optimized or improved based on the insights gained.

Documentation:

Write a detailed report documenting the approach, methodology, findings, and recommendations. This report should be structured in a clear and organized manner.

Tools and Techniques:

Data Analysis Tools (Python, R, Excel)

Machine Learning Algorithms (Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, etc.)

Statistical Techniques (Hypothesis Testing, Feature Importance Analysis)

Key Metrics:

Accuracy

Precision

Recall

F1-Score

Key Deliverables:
