Loan Credit Risk with Azure HDInsight Spark Clusters

> **Note:** You can read more about this solution and deployment guides in the [Loan Credit Risk solution](https://github.com/Microsoft/r-server-loan-credit-risk) published on GitHub. > This solution will create an HDInisght Spark cluster with Microsoft R Server. This cluster will contain 2 head nodes, 2 worker nodes, and 1 edge node with a total of 32 cores. The approximate cost for this HDInsight Spark cluster is 3.11USD/hour. Billing starts once a cluster is created and stops when the cluster is deleted. Billing is pro-rated per minute, so you should always **delete your cluster** when it is no longer in use. Use the Deployments page to delete the entire solution once you are done. ## Overview If we had a crystal ball, we would only loan money to someone we knew would pay us back. A lending institution can make use of predictive analytics to reduce number of loans they offer to those borrowers most likely to default, increasing the profitablity of their loan portfolio. This solution uses simulated data for a small personal loan financial institution, building a model to help detect whether the borrower will default on a loan.
