基于贝叶斯网络的电信客户流失预测分析 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
电信客户流失分析常用的数据挖掘方法有自动聚类、决策树和人工神经网络,它们是采用数据本身来训练模型的,没有利用先验知识。电信客户流失是由客户心理、服务质量和对手竞争等诸多复杂的因素造成的,利用这些已有的先验知识,可以提高预测的精度。该文根据先验知识选取分析变量,采集样本数据,通过贝叶斯网络的结构学习和参数学习,建立客户流失模型并进行客户流失趋势预测,取得了比标准数据集更准确的结果,该结果和决策树方法的预测结果相比还具有较大的优势,说明贝叶斯网络是分析客户流失等不确定性问题的有效工具。 相似文献

针对传统分类技术对不均衡电信客户数据集中流失客户识别能力不足的问题,提出一种基于差异度的改进型不均衡数据分类(IDBC)算法。该算法在基于差异度分类(DBC)算法的基础上改进了原型选择策略。在原型选择阶段,利用改进型的样本子集优化方法从整体数据集中选择最具参考价值的原型集,从而避免了随机选择所带来的不确定性;在分类阶段,分别利用训练集和原型集、测试集和原型集样本之间的差异性构建相应的特征空间,进而采用传统的分类预测算法对映射到相应特征空间内的差异度数据集进行学习。最后选用了UCI数据库中的电信客户数据集和另外6个普通的不均衡数据集对该算法进行验证,相对于传统基于特征的不均衡数据分类算法,DBC算法对稀有类的识别率平均提高了8.3%,IDBC算法对稀有类的识别率平均提高了11.3%。实验结果表明,所提IDBC算法不受类别分布的影响,而且对不均衡数据集中稀有类的识别能力优于已有的先进分类技术。 相似文献

Several studies have demonstrated the superior performance of ensemble classification algorithms, whereby multiple member classifiers are combined into one aggregated and powerful classification model, over single models. In this paper, two rotation-based ensemble classifiers are proposed as modeling techniques for customer churn prediction. In Rotation Forests, feature extraction is applied to feature subsets in order to rotate the input data for training base classifiers, while RotBoost combines Rotation Forest with AdaBoost. In an experimental validation based on data sets from four real-life customer churn prediction projects, Rotation Forest and RotBoost are compared to a set of well-known benchmark classifiers. Moreover, variations of Rotation Forest and RotBoost are compared, implementing three alternative feature extraction algorithms: principal component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA) and sparse random projections (SRP). The performance of rotation-based ensemble classifier is found to depend upon: (i) the performance criterion used to measure classification performance, and (ii) the implemented feature extraction algorithm. In terms of accuracy, RotBoost outperforms Rotation Forest, but none of the considered variations offers a clear advantage over the benchmark algorithms. However, in terms of AUC and top-decile lift, results clearly demonstrate the competitive performance of Rotation Forests compared to the benchmark algorithms. Moreover, ICA-based Rotation Forests outperform all other considered classifiers and are therefore recommended as a well-suited alternative classification technique for the prediction of customer churn that allows for improved marketing decision making. 相似文献

We describe CHAMP (CHurn Analysis, Modeling, and Prediction), an automated system for modeling cellular customer behavior on a large scale. Using historical data from GTE's data warehouse for cellular phone customers, every month CHAMP identifies churn factors for several geographic regions and updates models to generate churn scores predicting who is likely to churn within the near future. CHAMP is capable of developing customized monthly models and churn scores for over one hundred GTE cellular phone markets totaling over 5 million customers. 相似文献

Customer churn has become a critical issue, especially in the competitive and mature credit card industry. From an economic and risk management perspective, it is important to understand customer characteristics in order to retain customers and differentiate high-quality credit customers from bad ones. However, studies have not yet adequately introduced rules based on customer characteristics and churn forms of original data. This study uses rough set theory, a rule-based decision-making technique, to extract rules related to customer churn; then uses a flow network graph, a path-dependent approach, to infer decision rules and variables; and finally presents the relationships between rules and different kinds of churn. An empirical case of credit card customer churn is also illustrated. In this study, we collect 21,000 customer samples, equally divided into three classes: survival, voluntary churn and involuntary churn. The data from these samples includes demographic, psychographic and transactional variables for analyzing and segmenting customer characteristics. The results show that this combined model can fully predict customer churn and provide useful information for decision-makers in devising marketing strategy. 相似文献

To build a successful customer churn prediction model, a classification algorithm should be chosen that fulfills two requirements: strong classification performance and a high level of model interpretability. In recent literature, ensemble classifiers have demonstrated superior performance in a multitude of applications and data mining contests. However, due to an increased complexity they result in models that are often difficult to interpret. In this study, GAMensPlus, an ensemble classifier based upon generalized additive models (GAMs), in which both performance and interpretability are reconciled, is presented and evaluated in a context of churn prediction modeling. The recently proposed GAMens, based upon Bagging, the Random Subspace Method and semi-parametric GAMs as constituent classifiers, is extended to include two instruments for model interpretability: generalized feature importance scores, and bootstrap confidence bands for smoothing splines. In an experimental comparison on data sets of six real-life churn prediction projects, the competitive performance of the proposed algorithm over a set of well-known benchmark algorithms is demonstrated in terms of four evaluation metrics. Further, the ability of the technique to deliver valuable insight into the drivers of customer churn is illustrated in a case study on data from a European bank. Firstly, it is shown how the generalized feature importance scores allow the analyst to identify the relative importance of churn predictors in function of the criterion that is used to measure the quality of the model predictions. Secondly, the ability of GAMensPlus to identify nonlinear relationships between predictors and churn probabilities is demonstrated. 相似文献

The classification algorithm extreme SVM (ESVM) proposed recently has been proved to provide very good generalization performance in relatively short time, however, it is inappropriate to deal with large-scale data set due to the highly intensive computation. Thus we propose to implement an efficient parallel ESVM (PESVM) based on the current and powerful parallel programming framework MapReduce. Furthermore, we investigate that for some new coming training data, it is brutal for ESVM to always retrain a new model on all training data (including old and new coming data). Along this line, we develop an incremental learning algorithm for ESVM (IESVM), which can meet the requirement of online learning to update the existing model. Following that we also provide the parallel version of IESVM (PIESVM), which can solve both the large-scale problem and the online problem at the same time. The experimental results show that the proposed parallel algorithms not only can tackle large-scale data set, but also scale well in terms of the evaluation metrics of speedup, sizeup and scaleup. It is also worth to mention that PESVM, IESVM and PIESVM are much more efficient than ESVM, while the same solutions as ESVM are exactly obtained. 相似文献

Customer Segmentation is an increasingly pressing issue in today’s over-competitive commercial area. More and more literatures
have researched the application of data mining technology in customer segmentation, and achieved sound effectives. But most
of them segment customer only by single data mining technology from a special view, rather than from systematical framework.
Furthermore, one of the key purposes of customer segmentation is customer retention. Although previous segment methods may
identify which group needs more care, it is unable to identify customer churn trend for taking different actions. This paper
focus on proposing a customer segmentation framework based on data mining and constructs a new customer segmentation method
based on survival character. The new customer segmentation method consists of two steps. Firstly, with K-means clustering
arithmetic, customers are clustered into different segments in which customers have the similar survival characters (churn
trend). Secondly, each cluster’s survival/hazard function is predicted by survival analyzing, the validity of clustering is
tested and customer churn trend is identified. The method mentioned above has been applied to a dataset from China Telecom,
which acquired some useful management measures and suggestions. Some propositions for further research is also suggested. 相似文献

The wireless service subscriber calls a customer service representative to complain about dropped calls. During the conversation with the customer, the CSR views a display that shows this customer's probability of churn-switching from this service provider to another-as well as the most probable reasons to churn and the best strategy to retain this customer. The CSR then quickly responds to the subscriber according to the system's recommendation. This is an intelligent customer-care system designed to predict customer behavior. Predicting customer churn is a component in the decision framework for retaining customers and maximizing profitability. Companies can use these probability and revenue estimates in a decision-theoretic framework to determine a churn intervention strategy and a profitability optimization strategy. Predicting customer behavior helps service providers build customer loyalty and maximize profitability. For the success of a project, data preparation is often a critical part of the predictive algorithm. 相似文献

The early detection of potential churners enables companies to target these customers using specific retention actions, and subsequently increase profits. This analytical CRM (Customer Relationship Management) approach is illustrated using real-life data of a European pay-TV company. Their very high churn rate has had a devastating effect on their customer base. This paper first develops different churn-prediction models: the introduction of Markov chains in churn prediction, and a random forest model are benchmarked to a basic logistic model.The most appropriate model is subsequently used to target those customers with a high churn probability in a field experiment. Three alternative courses of marketing action are applied: giving free incentives, organizing special customer events, obtaining feedback on customer satisfaction through questionnaires. The results of this field experiment show that profits can be doubled using our churn-prediction model. Moreover, profits vary enormously with respect to the selected retention action, indicating that a customer satisfaction questionnaire yields the best results, a phenomenon known in the psychological literature as the ‘mere-measurement effect’. 相似文献
