决策树实战：信用卡欺诈检测全流程解析
下面我将通过一个完整的信用卡欺诈检测案例，展示决策树从数据探索到模型部署的全过程。我们将使用Python和Scikit-learn构建一个能够识别欺诈交易的决策树模型，并深入分析每个环节的技术细节。
1. 项目背景与数据理解
1.1 业务场景
信用卡公司需要实时检测可疑交易，在尽量减少误报（正常交易被标记为欺诈）的同时，尽可能捕获更多真正的欺诈交易。决策树因其可解释性和快速预测能力，非常适合这种需要人工复核的场景。
1.2 数据集说明
我们使用Kaggle信用卡欺诈数据集，包含欧洲持卡人2013年9月的交易记录：
- 特征 ：
- V1-V28：经过PCA转换的匿名特征（为保护隐私）
- Time：交易发生时间（秒）
- Amount：交易金额
- 目标 ：
- Class：0表示正常，1表示欺诈

2.1 特征分析
python
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
# 交易金额分布
plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)
sns.histplot(df[df['Class']==0]['Amount'], bins=50, color='blue', label='正常')
sns.histplot(df[df['Class']==1]['Amount'], bins=50, color='red', label='欺诈')
plt.yscale('log')
plt.title('交易金额分布(对数尺度)')
plt.legend()
# 时间分布
plt.subplot(2, 2, 2)
sns.histplot(df[df['Class']==0]['Time'], bins=50, color='blue', label='正常')
sns.histplot(df[df['Class']==1]['Time'], bins=50, color='red', label='欺诈')
plt.title('交易时间分布')
plt.legend()
# 特征V1-V28的分布
plt.subplot(2, 2, 3)
sample_data = df.sample(1000)
sns.boxplot(data=sample_data.iloc[:, 1:29], orient='h')
plt.title('V1-V28特征分布(采样1000条)')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()2.2 数据预处理
python
# 处理时间特征 - 转换为一天中的小时
df['Hour'] = df['Time'] % (24*60*60) / (60*60)
# 金额特征标准化
scaler = RobustScaler()
df['Amount_scaled'] = scaler.fit_transform(df['Amount'].values.reshape(-1, 1))
# 特征选择
features = ['V%d' % i for i in range(1, 29)] + ['Amount_scaled', 'Hour']
X = df[features]
y = df['Class']
# 数据集划分
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42, stratify=y
)
print(f"训练集形状: {X_train.shape}, 测试集形状: {X_test.shape}")3. 处理类别不平衡
欺诈检测的关键挑战是极端类别不平衡（正常交易占99.83%）。我们采用组合策略：
python
# 定义评估函数
def evaluate_model(model, X_test, y_test):
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
y_proba = model.predict_proba(X_test)[:, 1]
print("分类报告:")
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred))
print("\n混淆矩阵:")
cm = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)
sns.heatmap(cm, annot=True, fmt='d', cmap='Blues',
xticklabels=['正常', '欺诈'],
yticklabels=['正常', '欺诈'])
plt.xlabel('预测')
plt.ylabel('真实')
plt.show()
# 精确率-召回率曲线
precision, recall, _ = precision_recall_curve(y_test, y_proba)
ap = average_precision_score(y_test, y_proba)
plt.figure()
plt.plot(recall, precision, label=f'AP={ap:.2f}')
plt.xlabel('召回率')
plt.ylabel('精确率')
plt.title('精确率-召回率曲线')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
return y_pred, y_proba
# 基础决策树（不处理不平衡）
base_dt = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42)
base_dt.fit(X_train, y_train)
print("基础决策树表现:")
base_pred, base_proba = evaluate_model(base_dt, X_test, y_test)
# 使用欠采样处理不平衡
rus = RandomUnderSampler(random_state=42)
X_resampled, y_resampled = rus.fit_resample(X_train, y_train)
balanced_dt = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42)
balanced_dt.fit(X_resampled, y_resampled)
print("\n平衡后决策树表现:")
bal_pred, bal_proba = evaluate_model(balanced_dt, X_test, y_test)4. 模型优化与调参
4.1 网格搜索寻找最优参数
python
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
# 定义参数网格
param_grid = {
'max_depth': [3, 5, 7, 10, None],
'min_samples_split': [2, 5, 10, 20],
'min_samples_leaf': [1, 2, 5, 10],
'class_weight': [None, {0:1, 1:10}, {0:1, 1:100}],
'max_features': ['sqrt', 'log2', None]
}
# 使用欠采样管道
pipeline = make_pipeline(
RandomUnderSampler(random_state=42),
DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42)
)
# 网格搜索
grid_search = GridSearchCV(
estimator=pipeline.named_steps['decisiontreeclassifier'],
param_grid=param_grid,
cv=5,
scoring='average_precision',
n_jobs=-1,
verbose=1
)
# 重新定义管道步骤以兼容GridSearchCV
grid_pipeline = make_pipeline(
RandomUnderSampler(random_state=42),
grid_search
)
grid_pipeline.fit(X_train, y_train)
# 最佳参数
best_params = grid_search.best_params_
print("\n最佳参数组合:")
print(best_params)
# 使用最佳参数重建模型
optimized_dt = DecisionTreeClassifier(**best_params, random_state=42)
optimized_dt.fit(X_resampled, y_resampled)
print("\n优化后决策树表现:")
opt_pred, opt_proba = evaluate_model(optimized_dt, X_test, y_test)4.2 决策树可视化
python
plt.figure(figsize=(20, 12))
plot_tree(optimized_dt,
feature_names=features,
class_names=['正常', '欺诈'],
filled=True,
rounded=True,
max_depth=3, # 只显示前3层
proportion=True,
fontsize=10)
plt.title('优化后的欺诈检测决策树(前3层)')
plt.show()5. 模型解释与业务应用
5.1 特征重要性分析
python
# 获取特征重要性
importance = optimized_dt.feature_importances_
feature_importance = pd.DataFrame({
'Feature': features,
'Importance': importance
}).sort_values('Importance', ascending=False)
# 可视化
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
sns.barplot(x='Importance', y='Feature', data=feature_importance.head(15))
plt.title('Top 15重要特征')
plt.show()
# 分析重要特征与欺诈的关系
top_features = feature_importance.head(5)['Feature'].values
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10))
for i, feat in enumerate(top_features, 1):
plt.subplot(2, 3, i)
sns.kdeplot(df[df['Class']==0][feat], label='正常')
sns.kdeplot(df[df['Class']==1][feat], label='欺诈')
plt.title(f'{feat} 分布')
plt.legend()
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()5.2 业务规则提取
从决策树中提取可读性强的规则：
python
from sklearn.tree import _tree
def tree_to_rules(tree, feature_names):
tree_ = tree.tree_
feature_name = [
feature_names[i] if i != _tree.TREE_UNDEFINED else "undefined!"
for i in tree_.feature
]
rules = []
def recurse(node, depth, current_rule):
if tree_.feature[node] != _tree.TREE_UNDEFINED:
name = feature_name[node]
threshold = tree_.threshold[node]
left_rule = f"{current_rule} AND {name} <= {threshold:.2f}" if current_rule else f"{name} <= {threshold:.2f}"
recurse(tree_.children_left[node], depth + 1, left_rule)
right_rule = f"{current_rule} AND {name} > {threshold:.2f}" if current_rule else f"{name} > {threshold:.2f}"
recurse(tree_.children_right[node], depth + 1, right_rule)
else:
class_label = np.argmax(tree_.value[node])
support = tree_.n_node_samples[node]
rules.append({
'rule': current_rule,
'class': '欺诈' if class_label == 1 else '正常',
'support': support
})
recurse(0, 1, "")
return pd.DataFrame(rules)
# 提取前10条最重要的欺诈规则
rules_df = tree_to_rules(optimized_dt, features)
fraud_rules = rules_df[rules_df['class']=='欺诈'].sort_values('support', ascending=False).head(10)
