A Defection Detection Procedure Using SOM and Markov Chain: A Case of On-line Game Providers

چکیده
Customer retention is very important issue. In this reasons, many studies have been conducted for customer retention to demonstrate the potential of data mining through experiments and case studies. But current customer retention procedures only focus on detection of potential defectors based on likelihood of defection overlooking cost. In this paper, we propose an economic procedure for profit maximizing based on the customers' LTV and behavior state transition cost. For the aim of this paper, we use past and current customer behavior by integrating data mining techniques. In this procedure, SOM is used to determine the possible states of customer behavior from past behavior data. Based on this state representation, a Markov chain is applied to generate likelihood of state transition.

unprincipled changes in land use are major challenges for many countries and different regions of the world, which in turn have devastating effects on natural resources, Therefore, the study of land-use changes has a fundamental and important role for environmental studies. The purpose of this study is to detect and predicting of land use/ land cover (LULC) changes in Darab plain through the Ma...
متن کاملUsing Markov Chain to Analyze Production Lines Systems with Layout Constraints
There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...

The arc costs are assumed to be online parameters of the network and decisions should be made while the costs of arcs are not known. The policies determine the permitted nodes and arcs to traverse and they are generally defined according to the departure nodes of the current policy nodes. In on-line created tours arc costs are not available for decision makers. The on-line traversed nodes are f...
متن کاملA service decomposition and definition model in cloud manufacturing systems using game theory focusing on cost accounting perspectives
Cloud manufacturing is a new paradigm which has been under study since 2010 and a vast body of research has been conducted on this topic. Among them, service composition problems are of utmost importance. However, most studies only focused on private clouds meaning the objective function is defined for just one component of the supply chain. This paper attempts to consider service composition p...
