Title
Fraud detection in electrical energy consumers using rough sets
Abstract
Rough set is an emergent technique of soft computing that have been used in many knowledge discovery in database applications. This work describes an application of rough sets in the fraud detection of electrical energy consumers. From an information system, rough sets concept of reduct was used to reduce the number of conditional attributes and the minimal decision algorithm (MDA) was used to reduce some values of conditional attributes. The reduced information system derives a set of rules that reaches consumers behavior, allowing the classification rule system to predict many fraud consumers profiles. Rough sets prove that it is a powerful technique with application in many systems based in data.
