Fraud modeling is one example of this situation: it is expected less fraudulent transactions than reliable ones, predict them could be crucial for improving decisions and processes in a company. However, class imbalance produces a negative effect on traditional techniques in dealing with this problem, a lot of techniques have been proposed and oversampling is one of them. This work analyses the behavior of different oversampling techniques such as Random oversampling, SOMO and SMOTE, through different classifiers and evaluation metrics. The exercise is done with real data from an insurance company in Colombia predicting fraudulent claims for its compulsory auto product. Conclusions of this research demonstrate the advantages of using oversampling for imbalance circumstances but also the importance of comparing different evaluation metrics and classifiers to obtain accurate appropriate conclusions and comparable results.Bação, Fernando José Ferreira LucasRUNMoreno, María Fernanda Osorio2018-04-05T13:24:16Z2018-03-262018-03-26T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/33863TID:201894289enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T17:31:43Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/33863Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:03:00.594509Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
