Clustering based credit card fraud detection system using validation method with modified K-mean

  • Unique Paper ID: 144414
  • PageNo: 99-102
  • Abstract:
  • As the credit card has become the most prevailing mode of payment for both offline as well as online mode of transaction. This leads to acceleration of frauds. Fraud is a million dollar business which is rising rapidly. Thus there is a need of fraud avoidance system. Fraudster many a time try to generate credit card numbers by just altering the digits. Clustering can be done to effectively implement such systems. The K-mean is one of the most popular clustering algorithm used in data mining for real world applications, especially for the numerical dataset. K-mean performance and efficiency is greatly affected by the initial cluster centers, as different initial centers may leads to different cluster formations. In this research paper, K-mean is used in application with a modification which has an additional step for selecting better cluster centroids. This is done by keeping intercluster similarity as low while intracluster similarity as high.
