Project Goal
The Berka dataset,
from the
1999 PKDD Discovery Challenge,
provides information on the clients, accounts, and transactions
of a Czech bank. The original task description of the Discovery
Challenge states:
The bank wants to improve their services. For instance, the
bank managers have only vague idea, who is a good client (whom
to offer some additional services) and who is a bad client
(whom to watch carefully to minimize the bank loses). Fortunately,
the bank stores data about their clients, the accounts
(transactions within several months), the loans already granted,
the credit cards issued The bank managers hope to improve their
understanding of customers and seek specific actions to improve
services. A mere application of a discovery tool will not be
convincing for them.
In keeping with the original task description, our project goal is to
mine and analyze this bank data in order to extrapolate from it the
type of customer who makes a good candidate for a credit card.
