2. Project Overview : Blocker Fraud Company specializes in detecting fraud in mobile financial transactions. The company aims to expand in Brazil, leveraging an aggressive pricing strategy based on their fraud detection accuracy. The project seeks to develop a robust machine learning model to accurately predict fraudulent transactions. This model will be deployed via API for real-time classification of customer transactions, ensuring enhanced fraud detection capabilities and supporting the company's expansion Objective : Develop a machine learning model to detect fraudulent transactions. Company : Blocker Fraud Company Expansion : Targeting the Brazilian market Method : Using a robust machine learning model and deploying via API.

3. Here's a step-by-step breakdown : Data Exploration Conduct thorough Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Load the dataset into a Jupyter notebook. Use libraries like pandas for data manipulation and matplotlib or seaborn for visualization. Explore basic statistics and identify any missing values. Visualize the distribution of key features and identify patterns in fraudulent vs. non-fraudulent transactions.

4. Feature Engineering Create relevant features : Derive new features that might help in detecting fraud. Use domain knowledge or insights from EDA to create these features.

5. Model Selection Evaluate various classifiers : Split the data into training and testing sets. Train different models such as Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting. Compare their performance using appropriate metrics.

6. Performance Evaluation Use evaluation metrics : Measure precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. Adjust the model to improve these metrics.

7. Financial Impact Analysis Calculate expected revenue : Estimate financial gains from correctly identifying fraudulent transactions. Analyse the impact of false positives and false negatives.

8. Visualization Create informative visualizations : Use visualizations to illustrate model performance and insights. Tools like matplotlib, seaborn, or plotly can be used.

9. Conclusion Risk Mitigation : The model effectively minimizes false positives and false negatives, reducing the financial risks associated with fraud detection. Market Expansion : The project supports the company’s expansion into the Brazilian market by providing a reliable and scalable solution for fraud detection. The project successfully achieved its objectives, providing Blocker Fraud Company with a powerful tool to detect fraudulent transactions. The model’s deployment readiness and positive financial impact align well with the company’s strategic goals, ensuring a smooth and profitable expansion into the Brazilian market.
