Abstract: In this paper, we consider the application of a naïve Bayes model for the evaluation of corruption risk associated with government agencies. This model applies probabilistic classifiers to support a generic risk assessment model, allowing for more efficient and effective use of resources for the detection of corruption in government transactions, and assisting audit agencies in becoming more proactive regarding corruption detection and prevention.

Keywords: data mining; naive Bayes; corruption detection; corruption risk assessment; semi-supervised classifiers; government agencies; government transactions; audit agencies; corruption prevention.
