We used claims origination analytics, claims history analytics, to identify patterns which predict future suspicious fraudulent activity. We also used first notice of loss analytics to flag the most likely frauds. Further we ranked all possible indicators of anomalies and risks, and built a logistics regression model to predict the fraud propensity.
