how can I use date variable while building the model?

Please find github link for data set and its info.



I'm working on some bank data set where I need predict the customers who are willing to take the loan(Classification). Can I drop that date column or I need to consider that?

  • M not sure what type of dates you are referring to, e.g. The date column would make sense if its a Birth Date of the customer, as taking a loan would depend on the person age as well which is conveyed by its birth date. So simply asking should i drop date columns does not make sense. In ML it is always important to consider the context related to column.

  • If it is other(date of taking loan, date of joining) than birth date, then it would not help predicting your model.

  • That part also you can not say for sure, consider the following feature/learning that your model can derive with date of loan taking and birth date, using these two feature in combined, the model can learn that at what age people prefer to take loan which it could not learn if date of taking loan is not present

  • It's not customer DOB. It's customer account open date.

  • Dates are in below format 3/23/2005 10/11/2008 4/26/2012 7/4/2008 12/29/2001 6/7/2001
