Stacked generalizations in imbalanced fraud data sets using resampling methods

Using Unsupervised Learning to Guide Resampling in Imbalanced Data Sets

The class imbalance problem causes a classier to overt the data belonging to the class with the greatest number of training examples. The purpose of this paper is to argue that methods that equalize class membership are not as e ective as possible when applied blindly and that improvements can be obtained by adjusting for the within-class imbalance. A guided resampling technique is proposed and...

A Multiple Resampling Method for Learning from Imbalanced Data Sets

Re-Sampling methods are commonly used for dealing with the class-imbalance problem. Their advantage over other methods is that they are external and thus, easily transportable. Although such approaches can be very simple to implement, tuning them most effectively is not an easy task. In particular, it is unclear whether oversampling is more effective than undersampling and which oversampling or...

Resampling Methods in Complex Survey Data

Credit Card Fraud Detection using Data mining and Statistical Methods

Due to today’s advancement in technology and businesses, fraud detection has become a critical component of financial transactions. Considering vast amounts of data in large datasets, it becomes more difficult to detect fraud transactions manually. In this research, we propose a combined method using both data mining and statistical tasks, utilizing feature selection, resampling and cost-...

Classifying imbalanced data sets using similarity based hierarchical decomposition

Classification of data is difficult if the data is imbalanced and classes are overlapping. In recent years, more research has started to focus on classification of imbalanced data since real world data is often skewed. Traditional methods are more successful with classifying the class that has the most samples (majority class) compared to the other classes (minority classes). For the classifica...
