KEY METRICS
USING KEY METRICS TO DETECT FRAUD
WHY KEY METRICS ARE CRUCIAL
PageRank gauges the significance of each node in a graph, assigning a score based on the quantity and quality of its interconnected links. It thoroughly evaluates incoming and outgoing connections to create a comprehensive link structure analysis.
PageRank scores nodes in a network, identifying anomalies based on their prominence. Nodes with high scores often have numerous inbound links from dubious sources, indicating potential fraudulent involvement. A thorough investigation of these nodes could significantly reduce fraud network risks. Graph-based clustering analysis groups similar or proximate nodes, which could signal fraudulent activity. As fraudsters typically operate in clusters or employ similar methods, detecting these groupings can prove beneficial in identifying fraud. The shortest path analysis uncovers hidden node relationships within the network. Fraudsters often employ indirect connections to elude detection. The shortest path algorithm can expose these hidden links, assisting investigators in identifying suspicious transactions.
Page Rank
Clustering coefficient analysis groups graph nodes based on attribute or connection similarities using hierarchical or k-means clustering techniques. The resulting clusters are cross-checked against a maintained list of fraudulent transactions for potential matches.
Clustering Coefficient
The shortest path algorithm traces the quickest route between two graph nodes, highlighting the minimum number of connecting edges. This tool proves valuable in fraud detection, unveiling suspicious transactions across multiple nodes, and potentially exposing indirect connections or intermediary involvement. Classification employs evidence from past cases to predict an entity's category, serving as a robust fraud prevention tool. The model harnesses graph-extracted features like node attributes, transaction specifics, and inter-node relationships. After training, it can classify new transactions or nodes as legitimate or suspect.
Shortest Path
Classification aids in the real-time identification of potential fraudsters and their activities. Automated fraud detection allows swift identification and flagging of dubious transactions or customers, mitigating financial risks and preserving an institution's reputation.
