MODELS IN PYTHON

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Issue: Manual loan
assessments are slow,
subjective, and error-prone.
Impact: Delays in approvals,
increased default risk, and
potential bias.
Objective: Use machine
learning to predict loan
eligibility accurately and
efficiently.
DATA AND FEATURES
Dataset: Historical loan data (e.g., credit
score, income, loan amount, debt-to-
income ratio, employment status).
Features: Numeric (credit score, income)
and categorical (marital status,
education).
Target: Loan Status (Approved/Rejected).
Preprocessing: Normalize data, handle
missing values, encode categories.
ARCHITECTURE
ML Pipeline:
Data Input: Collect and
preprocess applicant data.
Model Training: Train a
supervised learning model.
Prediction: Output eligibility
(Approved/Rejected).
Evaluation: Use metrics like
accuracy and precision.
Components: Data storage, ML
model, API for loan system
integration.
ALGORITHM
Approach: Supervised learning
(classification).
Algorithms: Logistic Regression,
Random Forest, XGBoost.
Choice: Random Forest for high
accuracy and non-linear data
handling.
Performance: Example metrics
(e.g., 87% accuracy, 85%
precision).
Evaluation: Confusion matrix and
AUC-ROC for validation.
CONCLUSION
Summary: ML improves loan
eligibility prediction with
accuracy and efficiency.
Benefits: Faster decisions,
reduced risk, scalable solution.
Next Steps: Deploy model,
integrate with loan systems,
monitor for bias.
