🔄 Project Workflow

1️⃣ Data Collection

The project uses a dataset containing information related to loan applicants and their loan approval status.

2️⃣ Data Cleaning

The dataset was cleaned and prepared for analysis by handling missing values, correcting data formats, and preparing the data for modeling.

3️⃣ Exploratory Data Analysis

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) was performed to better understand the relationships between different variables and loan approval decisions.

4️⃣ Data Visualization

Different visualizations were created to identify patterns, trends, and important factors that may influence loan approval.

5️⃣ Machine Learning

A machine learning model was developed to predict whether a loan application will be approved based on the available applicant information.

6️⃣ Power BI Dashboard

An interactive Power BI dashboard was created to present the most important insights and allow users to explore the data visually.
