An Efficient Hybrid Classifier Model for Customer Churn Prediction

Customer churn prediction by hybrid neural networks

ADTreesLogit model for customer churn prediction

In this paper, we propose ADTreesLogit, a model that integrates the advantage of ADTrees model and the logistic regression model, to improve the predictive accuracy and interpretability of existing churn prediction models. We show that the overall predictive accuracy of ADTreesLogit model compares favorably with that of TreeNet®, a model which won the Gold Prize in the 2003 mobile customer chur...

A Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier for Customer Churn Prediction

Churn prediction is a useful tool to predict customer at churn risk. By accurate prediction of churners and non-churners, a company can use the limited marketing resource efficiently to target the churner customers in a retention marketing campaign. Accuracy is not the only important aspect in evaluating a churn prediction models. Churn prediction models should be both accurate and comprehensib...

Hybrid Models Using Unsupervised Clustering for Prediction of Customer Churn

In this paper, we use two-stage hybrid models consisting of unsupervised clustering techniques and decision trees with boosting on two different data sets and evaluate the models in terms of top decile lift. We examine two different approaches for hybridization of the models for utilizing the results of clustering based on various attributes related to service usage and revenue contribution of ...

Hierarchical 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...
