# Model Information
## Overview
The Loan Approval Predictor uses a Random Forest machine learning model trained on loan application data to predict whether a loan application will be approved or rejected.
## Model Details
- **Model Type**: Random Forest Classifier
- **Features Used**:
- Gender
- Married
- Dependents
- Education
- Self_Employed
- ApplicantIncome
- CoapplicantIncome
- LoanAmount
- Loan_Amount_Term
- Credit_History
- Property_Area
- **Output**: Binary prediction (Approved/Not Approved)
- **Model File**: `random_forest_model.pkl`
- **Scaler File**: `scaler.pkl`
## Dataset
The model was trained on the Loan Approval Prediction dataset, which contains historical loan application data with features about applicants and whether their loans were approved.
## Feature Importance
The most important features for loan approval prediction typically include:
1. Credit History
2. Loan Amount
3. Applicant Income
4. Property Area
5. Loan Amount Term
## Limitations
- The model is trained on historical data and may not capture recent changes in lending policies
- The model assumes that the input data follows the same distribution as the training data
- Extreme outlier values may lead to unreliable predictions
