Classification Model with the desired accuracy was delivered to the client.
Deployment of model on the entire customer base was done and customer tagging was provided.
The process of building the desired model involved data extraction, data transformation which included processes like missing value treatment, outlier detection, binning, and normalization. Various multivariate techniques were used to identify the outliers.
Descriptive data analysis was used to capture the facts like calling pattern, how may calls user made, preference of short messaging services vis-à-vis voice call, and VAS usage etc.
Different data subsets were created for the different purposes

After developing the datasets, we started to build data mining models and used various classification algorithms like C&RT, CHAID, Random Forest and Boosting Trees. When the desired accuracy was achieved, the model was finalized in agreement with the client.
The final model was deployed on the entire customer base.

The client wanted to understand the intentions of customers to purchase a particular product along with the intentions to continue to buy the same in future. The demographic and psychographic factors that were affecting the outcome of the decision of the customer were to be analyzed. The client wanted to build decision trees which would help broadly understand the customer behavior with a desired accuracy and robust action ability.
|
| Abacus deliverables |
All the demographics and psychographic variables were tested on their ability to best classify the response of customer. Chi-square statistic and significance values were used in order to achieve the objective.
Different random samples of data were selected in order to arrive at best results and multiple iterations of CHAID Analysis were done to obtain the final tree.
Robust decision tree with desired accuracy was provided, along with gain charts and other tabulations.

This enabled them to further develop centre wise marketing plans. It also helped them to find out where most of their dissatisfied customers were lying, not only in terms of location but also in terms of gender and age.
