Dataset description¶
The dataset for Lab-2 is sample of the SBA dataset posted on Kaggle.
The dataset is from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) The U.S. SBA was
founded in 1953 on the principle of promoting and assisting small enterprises in the
U.S. credit market (SBA Overview and History, US Small Business Administration
(2015)). Small businesses have been a primary source of job creation in the United
States; therefore, fostering small business formation and growth has social benefits by
creating job opportunities and reducing unemployment. There have been many
success stories of start-ups receiving SBA loan guarantees such as FedEx and Apple
Computer. However, there have also been stories of small businesses and/or start-ups
that have defaulted on their SBA-guaranteed loans.
