QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF BEHAVIOR IN FINANCIAL ENTITIES AND TRANSACTIONS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for assessing behavior, such as fraud and risk, in financial entities and transactions involve, for example, receiving, using a processing engine computer having a processor coupled to memory, data related to a plurality of entities. The plurality of entities is segmented into a plurality of entity peer groups based at least in part on a plurality of behavior components identified for each entity in the received data. For each entity, a behavior norm is created based on the entity history and its relationship to its corresponding peer group. All of the behavior components for each of the entities are normalized, and aggregated and a behavior score generated for each entity based on a continuous comparison of behavior values of each entity to a behavior norm for the entity peer group into which the entity is segmented. Based on new data received from time -to-time, this apparatus dynamically adapts the plurality of entities which may be re-segmented, the behavior components may be re-normalized, and a new behavior score may be generated for each entity.
