Currently working and collaborating with a team to analyze various datasets in order to create a model that will be able to potentially predict credit card fraudTechniques & Project overview:- Will analyze regression, time series, and classification models and techniques in order to predict fraud cases - will explore different datasets (both provided, and public datasets, potentially utilizing Kaggle), and apply exploratory data analysis, as well as feature engineering/data prep in order to create a polished dataset for training the models- Will train different models (focusing on classification and regression, and different ways of implementing these from ensemble methods to deep learning and neural network techniques), and evaluate these models by finetuning hyperparameters, and different feature selections and feature engineering. - Project culminates in final presentation to educate stakeholders and the company on the findings and results, as well as potential future endeavors (such as app development, and incorporating front end, Javascript and Java, to maximize usage and utilization of the model to be developed)
