Data Cleaning in R - Part 1
Discarding Attributes
LendingClub also provides a data dictionary that contains details of all attributes of out dataset. We can use that dictionary to understand more about the data columns we have and remove columns that may not impact the loan default.

Discard Attributes
We can use the data dictionary to identify and discard some attributes which we think are irrelevant or will have little impact on loan default.
discard_column = c("collection_recovery_fee","emp_title",
"funded_amnt_inv","id",
"installment","last_credit_pull_d",
"last_fico_range_high","last_fico_range_low",
"last_pymnt_amnt","last_pymnt_d",
"loan_amnt","member_id",
"next_pymnt_d","num_tl_120dpd_2m",
"num_tl_30dpd","out_prncp",
"out_prncp_inv","recoveries",
"total_pymnt","total_pymnt_inv",
"total_rec_int","total_rec_late_fee",
"total_rec_prncp","url",
"zip_code"
)
> data_train = (data_train[,!(names(data_train) %in% discard_column)])

Discard Grade Attribute
We will also drop the grade
attribute as the grade information is also available in sub_grade
