A novel feature engineered-CatBoost-based supervised machine learning framework for electricity theft detection

This paper presents a novel supervised machine learning-based electric theft detection approach using the feature engineered-CatBoost algorithm in conjunction with the SMOTETomek algorithm. Contrary to the previous literature, where the missing observations in data are either ignored or imputed with...
