1. In the dataset of tree_credit, information was collected from 2464 participants consisting of variables as credit rating, age, income, credit cards, education, and Car loan. Credit card rating was measured on a numerical scale as 0 means bad rating because of incomplete information and 1 means good rating, which shows the overall assessment of creditworthiness to meet financial obligations of a person. The age of participants was measured on an interval scale ranging from 20 to 63.35 years. Income level was measured on an ordinal scale from low to high. Number of credit cards was measured in terms of 0 or 1 as a person had less than 5 or more than 5 credit cards.
