Loan default prediction - cleaning the data and intro EDA

Question

The following dataset contains information on loans. Can you do the following to prepare the data set for analysis?

  • Create a new column called "loan_status_type" which will categorize "loan_status" into the following:

  • Current - loans currently outstanding

  • Closed - loans that are no longer open

  • Create a new column called "loan_status_standing" which will categorize "loan_status" into the following:

  • Good - customers who have (so far) successfully met the condition of their loan (e.g. no missed payments, no late fees accumulated)

  • Bad - customers who have missed payments / defaulted

With these 2 new columns, can you plot the month and year the loan was issued and the sum of the loan amounts by loan_status_type and loan_status_contract?

The data provided is a subset of a larger dataset. You can find more information about the larger dataset here.
