• Unstructured data was scaled and combined wif structured data to apply statistical methods.
• Dummy variables created for categorical variables.
• Sorted attributes into categorical and numeral variables.
• Data was visualized using different visualization (scatter plot, box plots, and histograms) techniques from ggplot2 package in R.
• Tried and implemented multiple models to evaluate predictions and performance.
• Machine learning algorithms like Random forest and logistic regression models were built on correlated data sets and emphasized on advanced algorithms like neural networks, SVM.
• Data was segmented into training, testing and validation sets at 0.5-0.25-0.25 ratio.
• Fine-tuned models to obtain more recall than accuracy. Trade-off between False Positives and False Negatives.

Responsibilities:

• Involved wif business analyst to understand the domain and the attributes .
• Brainstorming sessions wif the audit and trading teams led us to identify which data is appropriate to build an algorithm to classify obfuscated data.
• Transform and prepared data ahead of analysis & data-mining phase.
• Missing value treatment, outlier capping and anomalies treatment using statistical methods, deriving customized key metrics.
• Creating Dummy variables for certain categorical variables.
• Responsible for variable selection by performing forward stepwise regression, R-square and VIF values.
• Tried and implemented multiple models to evaluate predictions and performance (Linear regression, CART, Random Forest).
• Multiple Regression techniques were used and tested. Robust regression was finalized based the feasibility and accuracy of results
• Robust regression is an alternative to least squares regression when data is contaminated wif outliers or influential observations.
• Robust regression was used for the purpose of detecting influential observations. MAPE was given the priority as part of stats.
• Conducted validation of data models by different measures such as AUC, ROC, and confusion matrix.
• Grouped based on the past issues and each group was assigned wif specific set of issues.
• The model could predict 89% accurate.
• Documentation of the model was done and recommendations were forwarded to the company specifying the target customer base for the policy for achieving the maximum success.
