Dataset Information

Additional Information

The widely used Statlog German credit data ([https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/statlog+(german+credit+data)]), as of November 2019, suffers from severe errors in the coding information and does not come with any background information. The 'South German Credit' data provide a correction and some background information, based on the Open Data LMU (2010) representation of the same data and several other German language resources.
