In 2002, January the 31st, the famous journal Nature [Kla02], with a strong impact in the scientific environment, published some news about immune based systems. Among the different considered applications, we can find detection of fraudulent financial transactions. One can find there the possibility of a commercial use of such system as close as 2003, in a British company. In spite of that, we do not know of any scientific publication that uses Artificial Immune Systems in financial fraud detection. This work reports results very satisfactory on the application of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) to credit card fraud detection. In fact, scientific financial fraud detection publications are quite rare, as point out Phua et al. [PLSG05], in particular for credit card transactions. Phua et al. points out the fact that no public database of financial fraud transactions is available for public tests as the main cause of such a small number of publications. Two of the most important publications in this subject that report results about their implementations are the prized [MTV00], that compares Neural Networks and Bayesian Networks in credit card fraud detection, with a favored result for Bayesian Networks and [SFL97], that proposed the method AdaCost. This thesis joins both these works and publishes results in credit card fraud detection. Moreover, in spite the non availability of Maes data and implementations, we reproduce the results of their and amplify the set of comparisons in such a way to compare the methods Neural Networks, Bayesian Networks, and also Artificial Immune Systems, Decision Trees, and even the simple Näıve Bayes. We reproduce in certain way the results of [SFL97] when we verify that the usage of a cost sensitive meta-heuristics, in fact generalized from the generalization done from the AdaBoost to the AdaCost, applied to several tested methods substantially improves it performance for all methods, but Naive Bayes. Our analysis took into account the skewed nature of the dataset, as well as the need of a parametric adjustment, sometimes through the usage of genetic algorithms, in order to obtain the best results from each compared method.
