对比10种模型在信用卡欺诈检测中的表现,发现集成方法精度高但传统模型召回率更好。
A Comprehensive Performance Comparison of Traditional and Ensemble Machine Learning Models for Online Fraud Detection
- 对比随机森林、SVM、XGBoost等10种模型在欺诈检测中的表现
- 集成方法精度达0.99,传统模型召回率更优
- 适合金融风控从业者选型参考
在数字化经济时代,数字支付系统与在线活动指数级增长,伴随而来的各类欺诈行为日益严重,其中信用卡欺诈已成为重大威胁。实时欺诈检测对金融安全至关重要,但因交易量大、欺诈模式复杂而面临挑战。本研究针对一个高度不平衡的公开数据集(共284,807笔交易,其中欺诈交易492笔),全面比较了随机森林、SVM、逻辑回归、XGBoost等传统机器学习模型,以及堆叠法(Stacking)和投票分类器(Voting Classifier)等集成方法在信用卡欺诈检测中的性能。应用了特定于任务的预处理技术,并通过多种评估指标进行模型评估。结果显示,集成方法实现了接近完美的精确率(约0.99),而传统方法在召回率方面表现更优,凸显了误报与漏报之间的权衡。该全面比较揭示了各算法的性能优劣与局限性,为实际应用中选择高效模型提供了重要指导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the era of the digitally driven economy, where there has been an exponential surge in digital payment systems and other online activities, various forms of fraudulent activities have accompanied the digital growth, out of which credit card fraud has become an increasingly significant threat. To deal with this, real-time fraud detection is essential for financial security but remains challenging due to high transaction volumes and the complexity of modern fraud patterns. This study presents a comprehensive performance comparison between traditional machine learning models like Random Forest, SVM, Logistic Regression, XGBoost, and ensemble methods like Stacking and Voting Classifier for detecting credit card fraud on a heavily imbalanced public dataset, where the number of fraudulent transactions is 492 out of 284,807 total transactions. Application-specific preprocessing techniques were applied, and the models were evaluated using various performance metrics. The ensemble methods achieved an almost perfect precision of around 0.99, but traditional methods demonstrated superior performance in terms of recall, which highlights the trade-off between false positives and false negatives. The comprehensive comparison reveals distinct performance strengths and limitations for each algorithm, offering insights to guide practitioners in selecting the most effective model for robust fraud detection applications in real-world settings.
