R Programming Assignment
For this assignment you will write an R program to complete the tasks given below. You will hand in two files for this assignment.
- A File with your R program. This file should contain only the code (no output) and must have the typical r extension. No other file extensions will be accepted. The reason is that the assignment be graded based on your R code and not the output file. The output file will be used to verify the code commands. Also, please make sure that all comments, discussion, and conclusions regarding results are also annotated as part of your code.
- A PDF/DOC file with your output code. We are giving you more flexibility regarding how you want to present your output (tables, plots, etc.). You can either use RMD files that combine code, narrative txt, and plots or you can use word document with copy and paste from the R platform you are using. However, please remember that all output (tables, plots, comments, conclusions, etc.) shown in this file has to be generated by the same R code that you submit. This is important! Output shown that is generated using a separate code or output shown that is not supported by the submitted code will not be graded. Screenshots will not be accepted.
Use the following file
- R Data Set: HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv (in the zip file attached).
- The Data Dictionary in the zip file.
Note: The HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv file is a simple scrubbed file from the previous week homework. If you did more advanced scrubbing of data for last week, you may use your own data file instead. You might get better accuracy! If you decide to use your own version of HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv, please hand it in along with the other deliverables.
Step 1: Read in the Data
- Read the data into R
- List the structure of the data (str)
- Execute a summary of the data
- Print the first six records
Step 2: Classification Decision Tree
- Use the rpart library to predict the variable TARGET_BAD_FLAG
- Develop two decision trees, one using Gini and the other using Entropy
- All other parameters such as tree depth are up to you.
- Do not use TARGET_LOSS_AMT to predict TARGET_BAD_FLAG.
- Plot both decision trees
- List the important variables for both trees
- Create a ROC curve for both trees
- Write a brief summary of the decision trees discussing whether or not they make sense. Which tree would you recommend using? What type of person will default on a loan?
Step 3: Regression Decision Tree
- Use the rpart library to predict the variable TARGET_LOSS_AMT
- Develop two decision trees, one using anova and the other using poisson
- All other parameters such as tree depth are up to you.
- Do not use TARGET_BAD_FLAG to predict TARGET_LOSS_AMT.
- Plot both decision trees
- List the important variables for both trees
- Calculate the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for both trees
- Write a brief summary of the decision trees discussing whether or not they make sense. Which tree would you recommend using? What factors dictate a large loss of money?
Step 4: Probability / Severity Model Decision Tree (Push Yourself!)
- Use the rpart library to predict the variable TARGET_BAD_FLAG
- Use the rpart library to predict the variable TARGET_LOSS_AMT using only records where TARGET_BAD_FLAG is 1.
- Plot both decision trees
- List the important variables for both trees
- Using your models, predict the probability of default and the loss given default.
- Multiply the two values together for each record.
- Calculate the RMSE value for the Probability / Severity model.
- Comment on how this model compares to using the model from Step 3. Which one would your recommend using?
Essential Activities:
- Watch all the training videos
- Execute the example code while watching the training videos.
