Abstract

Credit card fraud is a wide-

ranging issue for financial institutions, involving

theft and fraud committed using a payment card. In this paper,

we explore

the application of linear and nonlinear statistical modeling and machine

learning models on real credit card transaction da

ta. The models built are

supervised fraud models that attempt to identify which transactions are

most likely fraudulent. We discuss the processes of data exploration,

data

cleaning, variable creation, feature selection, model algorithms, and results.

Five different supervised models are explored and compared including lo-

gistic regression, neural networks, random forest,

boosted tree and support

vector machines. The boosted tree model shows the best fraud detection re-

sult (FDR = 49.83%) for this particular data set. The

resulting model can be

utilized in a credit card fraud detection system. A similar

model development

process can be performed in related business domains such as insurance and

telecommunications, to avoid or detect fraudulent activity.

1. Introduction

Credit card fraud remains an important issue for theft and fraud committed us-

ing a payment card, such as a credit card or debit card. To combat this many

fraud detection algorithms are widely used in industry [1] [2] [3] [4]. Card fraud

can happen with the theft of the physical card as well as with the compromise of

the card, including skimming, breach, account takeover, that would otherwise

look like a legitimate transaction. According to the Global Payments Report

2015 [5], the credit card is the highest-used payment method globally in 2014

compared to other methods such as an e-wallet and Bank Transfer. Along with

the rise of credit card usage, the number of fraud cases has also been steadily in-

creasing [6]. The rise in credit card fraud has a large impact on the financial in-

dustry. The global credit card fraud in 2015 reached a staggering USD 21.84 bil-

lion [7].

Financial institutions today typically develop custom fraud detection systems

targeted to their own portfolios [8]. The data mining and machine learning

techniques are vastly embraced to analyze patterns of normal and unusual beha-

vior as well as individual transactions in order to flag likely fraud. Given the re-

ality, the best cost-effective option is to tease out possible evidence of fraud from

the available data using statistical algorithms [9]. Supervised models trained on

labeled data examine all previous labeled transactions to mathematically deter-

mine how a typical fraudulent transaction looks and assigns a fraud probability

score to each transaction [10]. Among the supervised algorithms typically used,

the neural network is popular, and support vector machines (SVMs) have been

applied, as well as decision trees and other models [3] [9] [11]-[21]. However,

little attention has been devoted in the literature to some comparison of all the

common algorithms, particularly using real data sets.

In this paper, we explore the application of various linear and nonlinear statis-

tical modeling and machine learning models on credit card transaction data. The

models built are supervised fraud models that attempt to identify which transac-

tions are most likely fraudulent.

2. Description of Data

The data available for this research project are a collection of credit card transac-

tions from a government agency located in Tennessee, U.S.A. The particular

agency is not known.

The data consist of 96,753 credit card transactions during the year 2010, with

1059 labeled as fraud. The file contains the fields:

• Record: A unique identifier for each data record. This field also represents

the time order;

• Cardnum: The account number for the transactions (we note that they are

Mastercard transaction since the account numbers begin with the digits 54);

• Date: The date of the transaction. Month, day and year only (no time of day);

• Merchnum: A typically 12-digit merchant identification number;

• Merch Description: A brief text description field of the merchant, typically

around 20 characters;

• Merch State: The state of the address for the merchant;

• Merch Zip: The zip code of the merchant;

• Transtype: A code denoting the type of transaction;

• Amount: The dollar amount of the transaction;

• Fraud: A label for the transaction to indicate whether or not it was a fraudu-

lent transaction.

Table 1 shows summary information about all the fields. Only the Amount

field is a numeric type field; the other fields are all categorical or text. The statis-

tical magnitudes in the table were calculated with the outliers eliminated. Three

fields have some missing values: Merchnum, Merch state, and Merch zip. It was

noticed that the number of unique values of the Merch state field is 227, which is

unexpected because the U.S. has only 50 states. Some of the values in this field

might be from other countries, such as Canada and/or Mexico.

Below we show some further information about the data.

Figure 1 shows the number of transactions each month. We noticed the gen-

eral upward trend through September, followed by a sharp drop in October. The

monthly transactions are fewer in the last quarter of the year compared with

other quarters. This is due to the government fiscal year which starts on October

1, and people tend to be more cautious with their money in the first few months

of the new fiscal year.

Figure 2 shows the top 10 of the most frequently traded merchant descrip-

tions. The total transaction frequency of the top 15 categories is 13,256, which is

about 13.7% of the records. The top 200 categories account for 41% of the total

records. In

Table 1, we see that there are 13,126 kinds of merchants by this

Merch description field, and 48.6% of the merchant descriptions only occurred

once.

Figure 3 depicts the top 10 of the most frequently observed merchant states.
