TARGETING CUSTOMERS: A FUZZY CLASSIFICATION APPROACH
author
Abstract:
Nowadays, marketing serves the purpose of maximizing customer lifetime value (CLV) and customer equity, which is the sum of the lifetime values of the company’s customers. But, CLV calculation encounters some difficulties which limit the usage of this technique. Nonetheless, companies looking for methods to know how to calculate their customers’ CLV. In this paper, fuzzy classification rules were used to determine customers’ CLV and segment them based on recency, frequency and monetary (RFM) measures. Data required for applying this method gathered from a steel firm in Iran.

full textA novel approach to neuro-fuzzy classification
A new model for neuro-fuzzy (NF) classification systems is proposed. The motivation is to utilize the feature-wise degree of belonging of patterns to all classes that are obtained through a fuzzification process. A fuzzification process generates a membership matrix having total number of elements equal to the product of the number of features and classes present in the data set. These matrix e...

Abstract. In this paper a fuzzy method for pixel classification is proposed. It is one of the most important results of the development of an inspection system for a silk-screen printing process. The classification algorithm is applied to a reference image in the initial step of the printing process in order to obtain regions which are to be checked by applying different criteria. Tight limitat...
full textClustering Based Approach for Customers’ Classification from Electrical Distribution Systems
The paper presents a clustering based approach for consumers’ classification in representative categories characterized by typical load profiles. For determination of the consumption categories, every customer must be characterized by the following primary information: daily (monthly) energy consumption, average load and peak load. The used database contains the daily load curves corresponding ...

This paper proposes a new --rough nearest-neighbor (NN ) approach based on the fuzzy-rough sets theory. This approach is more suitable to be used under partially exposed and unbalanced data set compared with crisp NN and fuzzy NN approach.
