Abstract
Apparatus for fraud detection for an account includes a plurality of N statistical estimators which estimate the likelihood of a transaction being fraudulent from data about a transaction on the account and transaction history of the account. A statistical estimator is provided which computes an estimate of the likelihood of a particular signature being that of a person authorized to sign on the account from an exemplar of the signature and a history of previous signatures. A combiner produces a combined probability estimate from the plurality of N statistical estimators and the statistical estimator.
