Visualization of Prosper.com’s Loan Data Part I of II – Compare and Contrast with Lending Club
From the post:
Due to the positive feedback received on this post I thought I would re-create the analysis on another peer-to-peer lending dataset, courtesy of Prosper.com. You can access the Prosper Marketplace data via an API or by simply downloading XML files that are updated nightly http://www.prosper.com/tools/.
Interesting work both for data analysis as well as visualization.
Finance data and financial markets are all the rage these days, mostly because the rationally self-interested managed to trash them so badly. I thought this might be a good starting point for any topic mapping activities in the area.
