I plan to start doing some studies as well since I am a huge fan of numbers. In looking at the difference between Lending Club and Prosper, one of the things that I did not like about Lending Club was the very short descriptions available. Your data backs up what I was feeling while browsing potential borrowers. You have been doing some very interesting studies.

Although 31696 is small compared to 205255, it is a considerably large pool. Of course, it would still be nice to have some stats on the significance and I will definitely look into providing some. Thanks for your suggestion. Hi theone,

Just wondering if you conducted any statistical tests of significance on the findings? <blockquote>Completed Listings with 100% Funding 31696 1676.3 Expired Listings with <100% Funding 205255 1229.1</blockquote> I noticed that there are way more data pts for expired listings compared with completed listings. Perhaps an 'analysis of variance' is needed to determine whether the difference in the avg no. of chars is significant? i'm no expert myself, just something i remember from the stats course i took many years ago. Thx. Hi, great blog love ur work mate!

The left bar represents all the listings that were completed with full funding. The right bar represents all the listing that were expired and did not reach full funding. It was tough for me to think of the terms to use but I think "Funded" vs. "Not Funded" should be more concise. Thanks for the suggestion. Hi Andrew - Yes, you are right.

I think you mean "100% funding" (more than). In other words, the left bar is borrowers who got funded, and the right bar is borrowers who did not get funded. Hi Knix - great post.
