Cost-sensitive payment card fraud detection based on dynamic random forest and k-nearest neighbors

作者:

Highlights:

• We use dynamic random forest algorithm for the first time in fraud detection problem.

• A new similarity measure is established on the basis of transaction time.

• Transaction aggregation strategy is used to derive additional transactional features.

• Minimum risk model is applied in cost-sensitive detection.

• The results are compared with two other models.
