Churn Prediction: Does Technology Matter?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to identify the most suitable model for churn prediction based on three different techniques. The paper identifies the variables that affect churn in reverence of customer complaints data and provides a comparative analysis of neural networks, regression trees and regression in their capabilities of predicting customer churn. Keywords—Churn, Decision Trees, Neural Networks, Regression.

The Impact of Experimental Setup in Prepaid Churn Prediction for Mobile Telecommunications: What to Predict, for Whom and Does the Customer Experience Matter?
Prepaid customers in mobile telecommunications are not bound by a contract and can therefore change operators (‘churn’) at their convenience and without notification. This makes the task of predicting prepaid churn both challenging and financially rewarding. This paper presents an explorative, real world study of prepaid churn modeling by varying the experimental setup on three dimensions: data...
متن کاملHierarchical Alpha-cut Fuzzy C-means, Fuzzy ARTMAP and Cox Regression Model for Customer Churn Prediction
As customers are the main asset of any organization, customer churn management is becoming a major task for organizations to retain their valuable customers. In the previous studies, the applicability and efficiency of hierarchical data mining techniques for churn prediction by combining two or more techniques have been proved to provide better performances than many single techniques over a nu...

Churn analysis can be understood as a problem of predicting and understanding abandonment of use of a product or service. Di erent industries ranging from entertainment to financial investment, and cloud providers make use of digital platforms where their users access their product offerings. Usage often leads to behavioural trails being left behind. These trails can then be mined to understand...
متن کاملChurn management optimization with controllable marketing variables and associated management costs
In this paper, we propose a churn management model based on a partial least square (PLS) optimization method that explicitly considers the management costs of controllable marketing variables for a successful churn management program. A PLS prediction model is first calibrated to estimate the churn probabilities of customers. Then this PLS prediction model is transformed into a control model af...
متن کاملIs lines of code a good measure of effort in effort-aware models?
Context: Effort-aware models, e.g., effort-aware bug prediction models aim to help practitioners identify and prioritize buggy software locations according to the effort involved with fixing the bugs. Since the effort of current bugs is not yet known and the effort of past bugs is typically not explicitly recorded, effort-aware bug prediction models are forced to use approximations, such as the...
