The study of credit risk is a major concern for financial companies looking to make wise lending decisions and limit potential losses. In this study, the use of R, a potent open-source programming language, is examined in the context of credit risk analysis. This study offers a thorough framework to improve the accuracy and efficiency of credit risk assessment by utilizing the flexible data manipulation, statistical analysis, and machine learning capabilities of R. The importance of credit risk analysis in financial institutions is discussed in the paper’s opening section, along with some of the difficulties it faces. The rich libraries, data processing capability, and data visualization features of R highlight how well-suited it is for this purpose. Data quality and consistency are stressed in the technique portion since it encompasses data collection, preprocessing, and feature engineering. To predict credit risk, a variety of statistical methods and machine learning models are used, which offers details on their benefits and interpretability. The research study also looks at model validation and evaluation, which ensures the stability and dependability of the credit risk models. Model accuracy, precision, and recall are evaluated using methods including exploratory data analysis (EDA), ROC analysis, and model performance indicators. This study concludes by highlighting how the use of R in credit risk analysis might enable financial institutions to make more knowledgeable lending decisions, lowering financial risks and promoting the stability of the financial sector. The purpose of the article is to offer a thorough methodology that financial institutions can use when performing credit risk analysis. This entails data gathering, preprocessing, feature engineering, statistical analysis, choosing a machine learning model, and model assessment. The goal of the paper is to provide practitioners with a detailed manual for implementing R-based data-driven credit risk analysis.
