Credit card fraud detection using Random Forest Algorithm

International Journal of Advance Research Ideas and Innovations in Technology

This Project is focused on credit card fraud detection in real-world scenarios. Nowadays credit card frauds are drastically increasing in number as compared to earlier times. Criminals are using fake identity and various technologies to trap the users and get the money out of them. Therefore, it is very essential to find a solution to these types of frauds. In this proposed project we designed a model to detect the fraud activity in credit card transactions. This system can provide most of the important features required to detect illegal and illicit transactions. As technology changes constantly, it is becoming difficult to track the behavior and pattern of criminal transactions. To come up with the solution one can make use of technologies with the increase of machine learning, artificial intelligence and other relevant fields of information technology, it becomes feasible to automate this process and to save some of the intensive amounts of labor that is put into detecting credit card fraud. Initially, we will collect the credit card usage data-set by users and classify it as trained and testing dataset using a random forest algorithm and decision trees. Using this feasible algorithm, we can analyze the larger data-set and user provided current data-set. Then augment the accuracy of the result data. Proceeded with the application of processing of some of the attributes provided which can find affected fraud detection in viewing the graphical model of data visualization. The performance of the techniques is gauged based on accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, precision. The results is indicated concerning the best accuracy for Random Forest are unit 98.6% respectively.

Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Random Forest Classification

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology

Credit card fraudulent happens through the account holder's card number, card details and personal information. E-commerce payment system is providing the payment for online transaction. The model is used to identify whether a new transaction is fraudulent or not. Aim is to detect 100% of the fraudulent transactions while minimizing the incorrect fraud classifications. A standard scalar model is initially trained with the normal behavior of a card holder. If an incoming credit card transaction is not accepted by the trained standard scalar model with sufficiently high probability, it is considered to be fraudulent, which defines a plot of test perception as the y coordinate versus its 1-specificity or false positive rate (FPR) as the x coordinate, is an effective method of estimate the quality or performance of diagnostic tests. The significance of the application technique reviewed in the minimization of credit card fraud. Still some issues when genuine credit card customers are misclassified as fraudulent. SMOTE is a statistical technique for increasing the number of cases in your dataset in a balanced way. Random forest builds multiple decision trees and integrate them together to get stable prediction and accuracy of about 98.6%.

IRJET- Optimized Random Forest for Credit Card Fraud Detection with User Interface

IRJET, 2020

Due to the rapid advancement in electronic commerce technology, the use of credit card has dramatically increased. With the development in information technology and improvements in communication channels, credit card fraud events are also spreading. Credit card frauds are those events in which the criminals make use of a stolen card to steal the confidential information of other peoples credit card. Due to its growing trend of transaction frauds, it has resulted in great loss of money every year. Currently in an online transaction environment the physical card is no longer required as if information can used to make a payment. This has made it much easier for criminals to conduct a fraud which has brought a negative influence on economy. Therefore ,fraud detection is very essential in order to identify fraud on time before the criminal uses stolen information.so here we are proposing an effective fraud detection model using the random forest ML algorithm in an optimized way with an user interface can capable of predicting the credit card fraud events more accurately. We are also going through the limitations of the machine learning algorithm that we selected for this prediction model and we are trying maximum to over come this limitation through the parameter tuning. We are training the system with the normal and abnormal behavior features. The prediction models classify the test transaction that we given is fraud or not. Finally we are also providing and user interface as an security enhancement, while any fraud events may occurred.

A Survey on Fraudulent Transaction Detection using Random Forest

International Journal of Scientific Research in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2022

In the evolution of the electronic money system, frequent transaction fraud has been a shadow behind the prosperity. It not only endangers the property security of users, but also hinders the development of digital finance in the world. With the development of data mining and machine learning, some mature technologies are gradually applied to the detection of transaction fraud. This paper proposes a transaction fraud detection model based on random forest. The experimental results of IEEE CIS fraud dataset show that the method of this model is better than the benchmark model, such as logistic regression, support vector machine. Finally, the accuracy of our model reached 97.4%, and the AUC ROC score was 92.7%. The random forest classifier is composed of a group of decision trees. Each tree is generated by independent sampling random vectors, and each tree votes to find the most popular category to classify the input. Random forest has both sample randomness and characteristic randomness, and its generalization performance is superior. At the same time, random forest has good processing ability for high-dimensional data sets, which is very suitable for IEEE CIS data sets. It can process a large number of inputs and determine the most important characteristics. Therefore, further feature mining is carried out on the data extracted by RFECV.
