CREDIT CARD FRAUD DETECTION USING RANDOM FOREST ALGORITHM IN MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA SCIENCE










Abstract

A credit card is issued by a bank or financial services company that allows cardholders to borrow funds with which to pay for goods and services with merchants that accept cards for payment. Nowadays as everything is made cyber so there is a chance of misuse of cardsand the account holder can lose the money so it is vital that credit card companies are able to identify fraudulent credit card transactions so that customers are not charged for items that they did not purchase. This type of problems can be solved through data science by applying machine learning techniques. It deals with modelling of the dataset using machine learning with Credit Card Fraud Detection. In machine learning the main key is the data so modelling the past credit card transactions with the data of the ones that turned out to be fraud. The built model is then used to recognize whether a new transactionis fraudulent or not. The objective is to classify whether the fraud had happened or not. Thefirst step involves analyzing and pre-processing data and then applying machine learning algorithm on the credit card dataset and find the parameters of the algorithm and calculatetheir performance metrics.
