A fraud score calculating program primarily for use in determining the
possibility of credit card fraud can calculate a score reflecting the
reliability of a model created based on Bayesian theory. Various factors
are extracted from authorization data, and cases are selected for various
combinations of the factors. A fraud score is calculated for each case,
and a result of score calculation is specified using at least one of the
calculated scores. The result of score calculation may be an average of a
plurality of the calculated scores. When each score reflects reliability,
the result of score calculation may be the largest of the calculated
scores.
