Stop the Customer Separation Pain with Bayesian Classifier

Stop the Customer Separation Pain with Bayesian Classifier In my last post, we did some exploratory analytic for customer churn. We identified the parameters that have most influence on whether a customer account gets closed or not. We performed correlation analysis using Cramer index. In  this post, we will take the next step forward i.e., build a Bayesian prediction model for predicting customer churn. The Hadoop based  Bayesian classifier implementation is part of my open source project avenir on github. We will use the same mobile service provider customer data as an example, as in the last post. New customer acquisition is expensive. So any predictive [...]

Explore Customer Churn with Cramer Index

But there is another problem whose solution is a prerequisite for solving classification problem. We may want to know which among the set of feature variables are most strongly correlated to the response variables. Once we have identified those, we may only want to use that sub set of the feature variables to build the prediction model. To put this in context, we will use the customer churn prediction problem, specifically for mobile telecom service [...]
