Detecting fraud from the highly overlapped and imbalanced fraud dataset is a challenging task. To solve this problem, we propose a new approach called extreme outlier elimination and hybrid sampling technique. k Reverse Nearest Neighbors (kRNNs) concept used as a data cleaning method for eliminating extreme outliers in minority regions. Hybrid sampling technique, a combination of SMOTE to over-sample the minority data (fraud samples) and random undersampling to under-sample the majority data (non-fraud samples) is used for improving the fraud detection accuracy. This method was evaluated in terms of True Positive rate and True Negative rate on the insurance fraud dataset. We conducted the experiments with classifiers namely C4.5, Naïve Bayes, k-NN and Radial Basis Function networks and compared the performance of our approach against simple hybrid sampling technique. Obtained results shown that extreme outlier elimination from minority class, produce high predictions for both fraud and non-fraud classes.
