How do you build a credit scoring model in Python?

Start with data clean-up, analyze var relationships (viz + stats), feature select, model with sklearn LogisticRegression or XGBoost, validate.

What measures variable relationships for credit scoring?

Cont-cont: Pearson/Spearman. Cont-cat: t-test/ANOVA. Cat-cat: Chi-square. Always viz first.
