Note: This repository isn't maintained often, use at your own discretion. Error handling was not a priority when scripting.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

After the required packages are installed you can simply run the scripts from the phases below.

Phases

Create Database

Create the database with meaningful random data.

python createDatabase.py

Cleaning the data

Cleaning invalid data/rows that does not meet a defined criteria. Fills in data using samples or a mean/median.

python cleaning.py

EDA

Exploratory Data Analysis - understand the data and data types as well as some statistics and graphing to see the distribution, correlation, anomalies and outliers of the data.

python eda.py

PPDM

Privacy Preserving Data Mining - suppress, generalize, anatomization, perturbation, categorize, k-anonymity is done in order to preserve privacy so that sensitive attributes cannot identify a person without having the entire dataset. This makes the data safer in an instance the data is leaked, it makes it harder to impersonate someone.

python ppdm.py

Machine learning

Machine leaning was used to detect fraudulent insurance claims. This uses a simple decision tree classifier and was trained with 70/30 train/test ratio. The accuracy of the prediction was ~99% with 73117 training elements and 18280 testing elements. The tree can be seen in insurance.pdf.
