Credit score classification

THE COURSEWORK OVERVIEW

For the assignment, you are asked to explore the application of data analytics techniques to
the dataset that is provided. You must study data problems related to the dataset, giving
special consideration to the unique properties of the problem domain, and testing one or
more techniques on it.

Your analysis needs to be thorough and go beyond the scope of what has been covered in
this course. You should incorporate data exploration, manipulation, transformation, and
visualization concepts with data analysis techniques in your solution. It is crucial to provide
explanations and justifications for the chosen techniques.

You also may need to pre-process your data to get it into an appropriate format. The
assignment should involve several techniques by categorizing it into different criteria and a
detailed exploration of the commands used in each criterion. Outline the findings, analyze
them, and justify them correctly with an appropriate graph. Also, a supporting document is
needed to reflect the graph and code using R programming concepts.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSEWORK

This assignment will help you to explore and analyze a set of data and reconstruct it into
meaningful representations for decision-making.

3.0 TYPE
Group Assignment (4 members)

4.0 COURSEWORK DESCRIPTION

This dataset contains the bank customers’ credit-related information. As a data analyst in
the banking sector, you are commissioned to conduct an in-depth analysis of the customers
with different credit behaviors with the given dataset to identify the factors that differentiate
the credit scores of customers and provide useful recommendations to stakeholders.

Techniques
The dataset provided for this assignment consists of information about customers’
demographics such as age and occupation and their credit card usage behavior such as
utilization ratio, outstanding debts, monthly balance, etc. In addition to the techniques (data
exploration, manipulation, transformation, and visualization techniques) covered in the
course to analyze the dataset, you might consider exploring and implementing more
advanced concepts to enhance the effectiveness of data retrieval.

5.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS


 This is a group assignment, with a maximum of 4 students in a group.
 The R program should compile and be executed without errors.
 Validation should be done for each entry from the users to avoid logical errors.
 Do not use third-party tools such as Excel, OpenRefine and etc to pre-process or clean
the data. Cleaning and pre-processing must be done in R using scripting.
 No duplication is allowed in the dataset.
 You should;
o Include good programming practices such as comments, variable naming
conventions, and indentation.
o Carried out additional research from the Internet to comprehend the knowledge
and information on the given dataset when examining the data.
 The analysis should be meaningful and effective in providing the information for
decision-making.
 Any additional features implemented must improve the retrieval effects.
