Automatic rule backtesting with large quantities of data
At Grab, real-time fraud detection is built on a rule engine. As data scientists and analysts, we need to analyse and simulate a rule on historical data to check the performance and accuracy of the rule. Backtesting, also known as Replay, enables analysts to run simulations of either newly-invented rules, or evaluate the performance of existing rules using past events ranging from days to months, and significantly improve rule creation efficiency.
