- Abstract: The literature on fraud analytics and fraud detection has seen a substantial
increase in output in the past decade. This has led to a wide range of research
topics and overall little organization of the many aspects of fraud analytical
research. The focus of academics ranges from identifying fraudulent credit card
payments to spotting illegitimate insurance claims. In addition, there is a
wide range of methods and research objectives. This paper aims to provide an
overview of fraud analytics in research and aims to more narrowly organize the
discipline and its many subfields. We analyze a sample of almost 300 records on
fraud analytics published between 2011 and 2020. In a systematic way, we
identify the most prominent domains of application, challenges faced,
performance metrics, and methods used. In addition, we build a framework for
fraud analytical methods and propose a keywording strategy for future research.
One of the key challenges in fraud analytics is access to public datasets. To
further aid the community, we provide eight requirements for suitable data sets
in research motivated by our research. We structure our sample of the
literature in an online database. The database is available online for fellow
researchers to investigate and potentially build upon.

Data-driven algorithms are studied in diverse domains to support critical decisions, directly impacting people's well-being.
A growing community of researchers has been investigating the equity of existing algorithms and proposing novel ones, advancing the understanding of risks and opportunities of automated decision-making for historically disadvantaged populations.
Progress in fair Machine Learning hinges on data, which can be appropriately used only if adequately documented.
Unfortunately, the algorithmic fairness community suffers from a collective data documentation debt caused by a lack of information on specific resources (opacity) and scatteredness of available information (sparsity)

One of the main challenges in fraud detection is acquiring fraud samples which is a complex and challenging task.
In order to deal with this challenge, we apply one-class classification methods such as SVDD which does not need the fraud samples for training.
Also, we present our algorithm REDBSCAN which is an extension of DBSCAN to reduce the number of samples and select those that keep the shape of data.
