  • Publication number: 20080208946
    Abstract: A method of analysis of incomplete data sets to detect fraudulent data is disclosed. The method comprises computing constant values for various leading digit sequence lengths, computing artificial Benford frequencies for the digit sequence lengths, computing a standard deviation for each of the sequence lengths, and flagging any digit sequences in the data set that deviate more than an upper bound number of standard deviations from the artificial Benford frequencies, the upper bound used to determine if the observed data deviates enough to be considered anomalous and potentially indicative of fraud or abuse.
