Predictive Modeling for Insurance Claim Fraud Detection

Project Abstract

Insurance claim fraud poses a significant challenge to insurance companies worldwide, leading to financial losses and undermining the integrity of the insurance industry. In response to this issue, predictive modeling techniques have emerged as effective tools for detecting and preventing fraudulent activities. This research project focuses on the development and implementation of a predictive modeling system for insurance claim fraud detection. The study aims to leverage historical data and advanced analytical methods to build a robust predictive model that can effectively identify fraudulent insurance claims.
