✔ R (C4.5 Algorithm) – Decision Tree Classification
✔ Confusion Matrix, Accuracy – Model Evaluation

Project Overview

This project is the result of a practical work report conducted at Adira Finance, utilizing real company data to analyze credit applications over a four-month period. The study focuses on:

  • Descriptive analysis and data visualization using Pivot Tables and Power BI to identify trends in credit applications.

  • Classification of approved credit applications using the C4.5 decision tree algorithm, implemented in R to develop predictive rules for loan approval.

Key Insights from the Data

  • 1,597 loan applications were approved between October 2022 – January 2023.

  • New Motorcycles had the highest demand, with 932 applications.

  • December & January had the most rejections, each with 135 declined applications.

  • More than 53% of loans were for multi-purpose financing, mainly for individuals and businesses with steady income.

How We Predicted Loan Approvals

By training a C4.5 decision tree, we discovered clear patterns in loan approval decisions:

  • ✔ IF Status Document = Lengkap → THEN Approval = Approve

  • ✔ IF Status Document = Save Partial AND Last Level Approval ≥ 2 → THEN Approval = Approve

  • ✔ IF Status Document = Save Partial AND Last Level Approval < 2 AND Pihak Ketiga = Non-Dealer → THEN Approval = Approve

  • ❌ ELSE → Approval = Reject

Model Performance

  1. Training Accuracy: 96.93% – Strong performance on known data.

  2. Test Accuracy: 97.17% – High reliability for new applications.

  3. A clear, rule-based system that helps automate and streamline credit approvals.

Impact & Next Steps

This model reduces manual loan reviews, making approvals faster and more consistent. Future improvements could include additional financial indicators and machine learning ensembles for even better accuracy.
