The prevention of subscriber churn through customer retention is a core issue of Customer Relationship Management (CRM). By minimizing customer churn a company maximizes its profit. This paper proposes a hybridized architecture to deal with customer retention problems. It does so not only through predicting churn probability but also by proposing retention policies. The architecture works in two modes: learning and usage. In the learning mode, the churn model learner seeks potential associations from the subscriber database. This historical information is used to form a churn model. This mode also calls for a policy model constructor to use the attributes identified in the churn model to divide all ‘churners’ into distinct groups. The policy model constructor is also responsible for developing a policy model for each churner group. In the usage mode, a churn predictor uses the churn model to predict the churn probability of a given subscriber. When the churn model finds that the subscriber has a high churn probability the policy model is used to suggest specific retention policies. This study’s experiments show that the churn model has an evaluation accuracy of approximately eighty-five percent. This suggests that policy model construction represents an interesting and important technique in investigating the characteristics of churner groups. Furthermore, this study indicates that understanding the relationships between churns is essential in creating effective retention policy models for dealing with ‘churners’. 相似文献

In order to accurately forecast and prevent customer churn in e-commerce, a customer churn forecasting framework is established through four steps. First, customer behavior data is collected and converted into data warehouse by extract transform load (ETL). Second, the subject of data warehouse is established and some samples are extracted as train objects. Third, alternative predication algorithms are chosen to train selected samples. Finally, selected predication algorithm with extension is used to forecast other customers. For the imbalance and nonlinear of customer churn, an extended support vector machine (ESVM) is proposed by introducing parameters to tell the impact of churner, non-churner and nonlinear. Artificial neural network (ANN), decision tree, SVM and ESVM are considered as alternative predication algorithms to forecast customer churn with the innovative framework. Result shows that ESVM performs best among them in the aspect of accuracy, hit rate, coverage rate, lift coefficient and treatment time. This novel ESVM can process large scale and imbalanced data effectively based on the framework. 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

Predicting customer churn with the purpose of retaining customers is a hot topic in academy as well as in today’s business environment. Targeting the right customers for a specific retention campaign carries a high priority. This study focuses on two aspects in which churn prediction models could be improved by (i) relying on customer information type diversity and (ii) choosing the best performing classification technique. (i) With the upcoming interest in new media (e.g. blogs, emails, ...), client/company interactions are facilitated. Consequently, new types of information are available which generate new opportunities to increase the prediction power of a churn model. This study contributes to the literature by finding evidence that adding emotions expressed in client/company emails increases the predictive performance of an extended RFM churn model. As a substantive contribution, an in-depth study of the impact of the emotionality indicators on churn behavior is done. (ii) This study compares three classification techniques – i.e. Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines and Random Forests – to distinguish churners from non-churners. This paper shows that Random Forests is a viable opportunity to improve predictive performance compared to Support Vector Machines and Logistic Regression which both exhibit an equal performance. 相似文献

Much has been written about word of mouth and customer behavior. Telephone call detail records provide a novel way to understand the strength of the relationship between individuals. In this paper, we predict using call detail records the impact that the behavior of one customer has on another customer's decisions. We study this in the context of churn (a decision to leave a communication service provider) and cross-buying decisions based on an anonymized data set from a telecommunications provider. Call detail records are represented as a weighted graph and a novel statistical learning technique, Markov logic networks, is used in conjunction with logit models based on lagged neighborhood variables to develop the predictive model. In addition, we propose an approach to propositionalization tailored to predictive modeling with social network data. The results show that information on the churn of network neighbors has a significant positive impact on the predictive accuracy and in particular the sensitivity of churn models. The results provide evidence that word of mouth has a considerable impact on customers' churn decisions and also on the purchase decisions, leading to a 19.5% and 8.4% increase in sensitivity of predictive models. 相似文献

In telecommunication industry, for many organizations, it is really important to take place in the market. As competition increases between companies, customer churn becomes a great issue to deal with by the telecommunication providers. For an effective churn management, companies try to retain their existing customers, instead of acquiring new ones. Previous researches focus on predicting the customers with a propensity to churn in telecommunication industry. In this study, a model is constructed by Bayesian Belief Network to identify the behaviors of customers with a propensity to churn. The data used are collected from one of the telecommunication providers in Turkey. First, as only discrete variables are used in Bayesian Belief Networks, CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector) algorithm is applied to discretize continuous variables. Then, a causal map as a base of Bayesian Belief Network is brought out via the results of correlation analysis, multicollinearity test and experts’ opinions. According to the results of Bayesian Belief Network, average minutes of calls, average billing amount, the frequency of calls to people from different providers and tariff type are the most important variables that explain customer churn. At the end of the study, three different scenarios that examine the characteristics of the churners are analyzed and promotions are suggested to reduce the churn rate. 相似文献

The analysis of social communities related logs has recently received considerable attention for its importance in shedding light on social concerns by identifying different groups, and hence helps in resolving issues like predicting terrorist groups. In the customer analysis domain, identifying calling communities can be used for determining a particular customer’s value according to the general pattern behavior of the community that the customer belongs to; this helps the effective targeted marketing design, which is significantly important for increasing profitability. In telecommunication industry, machine learning techniques have been applied to the Call Detail Record (CDR) for predicting customer behavior such as churn prediction. In this paper, we pursue identifying the calling communities and demonstrate how cluster analysis can be used to effectively identify communities using information derived from the CDR data. We use the information extracted from the cluster analysis to identify customer calling patterns. Customers calling patterns are then given to a classification algorithm to generate a classifier model for predicting the calling communities of a customer. We apply different machine learning techniques to build classifier models and compare them in terms of classification accuracy and computational performance. The reported test results demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach. 相似文献

The objective of this paper is to introduce a comprehensive methodology to discover the knowledge for selecting targets for direct marketing from a database. This study expanded RFM model by including two parameters, time since first purchase and churn probability. Using Bernoulli sequence in probability theory, we derive out the formula that can estimate the probability that one customer will buy at the next time, and the expected value of the total number of times that the customer will buy in the future. This study also proposed the methodology to estimate the unknown parameters in the formula. This methodology leads to more efficient and accurate selection procedures than the existing ones. In the empirical part we examine a case study, blood transfusion service, to show that our methodology has greater predictive accuracy than traditional RFM approaches. 相似文献

Churn management is important and critical issue for Global Services of Mobile Communications (GSM) operators to develop strategies and tactics to prevent its subscribers to pass other GSM operators. First phase of churn management starts with profile creation for the subscribers. Profiling process evaluates call detail data, financial information, calls to customer service, contract details, market details and geographic and population data of a given state. In this study, input features are clustered by x-means and fuzzy c-means clustering algorithms to put the subscribers into different discrete classes. Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is executed to develop a sensitive prediction model for churn management by using these classes. First prediction step starts with parallel Neuro fuzzy classifiers. After then, FIS takes Neuro fuzzy classifiers’ outputs as input to make a decision about churners’ activities. 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

A major concern for modern enterprises is to promote customer value, loyalty and contribution through services such as can help establish a long-term, honest relationship with customers. For purposes of better customer relationship management, data mining technology is commonly used to analyze large quantities of data about customer bargains, purchase preferences, customer churn, etc. This paper aims to propose a recommender system for wireless network companies to understand and avoid customer churn. To ensure the accuracy of the analysis, we use the decision tree algorithm to analyze data of over 60,000 transactions and of more than 4000 members, over a period of three months. The data of the first nine weeks is used as the training data, and that of the last month as the testing data. The results of the experiment are found to be very useful for making strategy recommendations to avoid customer churn. 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
