Machine learning is a strategy
that enable computers to automatize information-driven model building
and programming through a scientific discovery of statistically
important patterns within the obtainable data. The learning capability
of a machine and the ability to do predictive analysis is very
obligatory in this age of vast information. In this study, we focused on
banking sector where too many individuals are applying for bank
credits. Though, it is really troublesome to determine whom loan should
be granted or whom should be rejected. For banking organizations
acceptance of loan is a main task. The prediction model that we formed
in this paper for predicting fraudulent loan requests. In this paper, we
were working with six algorithms - Decision tree, Support vector
machine, Random forest, K nearest neighbors, Ada-Boost, and Logistic
regression to predict the fraudulent loan request from customers. We got
83.75% accuracy from K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm which was better
than other five machine learning approaches.
