found a study
As I understand it, this task is a classification: fraud or not.
fraud Signals
Short sessions
Low variance in observed behavior, eg time between sessions High click-through rate
Very high session count but almost no click-throughs (in a short period of time)
Machine learning algorithms with better accuracy and speed
Total number of sessions
Total number of click-throughs
Distribution of time between sessions
Number of sessions marked as spurious
User IP address(es)
Distribution of session, engagement and visibility times
Distribution of time to rst click-through and mouse-over
Number of invalid sessions
