• Train binary classifiers to flag fraudulent transactions
• Build anomaly detection models for real-time payment monitoring
• Analyze patterns in transaction metadata to identify risk factors

Strengths

• Clear binary labels (fraudulent/legitimate) for each transaction
• Includes timestamps and amount data for temporal analysis

Limitations

• May lack detailed user demographics due to privacy constraints
• Feature definitions might require domain knowledge to interpret
• Class imbalance likely present with fraud cases as minority
