Multiple classifiers system for anomaly detection

The two major concerns of using credit cards are (i) fraud and (ii) default payment. Fraud and default payment may cause financial losses to both credit cardholders and banks. Thus, many researchers are trying to find various effective ways of addressing these two concerns by using data mining appro...
