Application of Hidden Markov Model in Credit Card Fraud Detection

چکیده
In modern retail market environment, electronic commerce has rapidly gained a lot of attention and also provides instantaneous transactions. In electronic commerce, credit card has become the most important means of payment due to fast development in information technology around the world. As the usage of credit card increases in the last decade, rate of fraudulent practices is also increasing every year. Existing fraud detection system may not be so much capable to reduce fraud transaction rate. Improvement in fraud detection practices has become essential to maintain existence of payment system. In this paper, we show how Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used to detect credit card fraud transaction with low false alarm. An HMM based system is initially studied spending profile of the card holder and followed by checking an incoming transaction against spending behavior of the card holder, if it is not accepted by our proposed HMM with sufficient probability, then it would be a fraudulent transaction.

Credit Card Transaction Fraud Detection by using Hidden Markov Model
this paper proposes a HMM (Hidden Markov Model) based fraud detection system for credit card fraud detection. The method works on the statistical behavior of user’s transactions. Since the original transactions are not available due to privacy policies of bank we used here synthetically generated data for a credit card user, and then HMM model is trained using different size of sample of genera...
