The importance and need for effective fraud detection and prevention systems is highlighted by some recent numbers which give an indication of the estimated size and the financial impact of fraud:

• A typical organization loses 5% of its revenues to fraud each year (www.acfe.com)
• The total cost of insurance fraud…

Detect fraud earlier to mitigate loss and prevent cascading damage

Fraud Analytics Using Descriptive, Predictive, and Social Network Techniques is an authoritative guidebook for setting up a comprehensive fraud detection analytics solution. Early detection is a key factor in mitigating fraud damage, but it involves more specialized techniques than detecting fraud at the more advanced stages. This invaluable guide details both the theory and technical aspects of these…

Any new technology is not successful until it is embraced and used to its potential. Machine learning is no exception to this rule and its success or to say its ability can be gauged by the trends that exist. Machine learning is already a hot technology at the moments and it seems to have a promising future. At present, it…

In some applications, using the standard precision in your programming language of choice, may not be enough, and can lead to disastrous errors. In some cases, you work with a library that is supposed to provide very high precision, when in fact the library in question does not work as advertised. In some cases, lack of precision results in obvious problems that are easy to spot, and in some cases, everything seems to be working fine and you are not aware that your simulations are completely…

Here we describe well-known chaotic sequences, including new generalizations, with application to random number generation, highly non-linear auto-regressive models for times series, simulation, random permutations, and the use of big numbers (libraries available in programming languages to work with numbers with hundreds of decimals) as standard computer precision almost always produces completely erroneous results after a few iterations  -- a fact rarely if ever mentioned in the scientific…
