Abstract
Disclosed herein is a fraud analysis data reduction technique. When reviewing a large set of data for potential fraudulent action there is often too much data for a human to reasonably analyze. A technique to reduce the overall amount of data associates entities that have duplicate values stored in corresponding data elements with one another and removes those entities that do not have at least one duplicate value. The entities with duplicate values are entered into a node graph and analyzed for connected components. The connected components analysis and a duplicate threshold analysis provide usable results to identify fraudulent activity.
