Cross-company customer churn prediction in telecommunication: A comparison of data transformation methods     

《International Journal of Information Management》2019

Cross-Company Churn Prediction (CCCP) is a domain of research where one company (target) is lacking enough data and can use data from another company (source) to predict customer churn successfully. To support CCCP, the cross-company data is usually transformed to a set of similar normal distribution of target company data prior to building a CCCP model. However, it is still unclear which data transformation method is most effective in CCCP. Also, the impact of data transformation methods on CCCP model performance using different classifiers have not been comprehensively explored in the telecommunication sector. In this study, we devised a model for CCCP using data transformation methods (i.e., log, z-score, rank and box-cox) and presented not only an extensive comparison to validate the impact of these transformation methods in CCCP, but also evaluated the performance of underlying baseline classifiers (i.e., Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Gradient Boosted Tree (GBT), Single Rule Induction (SRI) and Deep learner Neural net (DP)) for customer churn prediction in telecommunication sector using the above mentioned data transformation methods. We performed experiments on publicly available datasets related to the telecommunication sector. The results demonstrated that most of the data transformation methods (e.g., log, rank, and box-cox) improve the performance of CCCP significantly. However, the Z-Score data transformation method could not achieve better results as compared to the rest of the data transformation methods in this study. Moreover, it is also investigated that the CCCP model based on NB outperform on transformed data and DP, KNN and GBT performed on the average, while SRI classifier did not show significant results in term of the commonly used evaluation measures (i.e., probability of detection, probability of false alarm, area under the curve and g-mean).  相似文献

关于我国离婚法定条件的探讨——混合标准还是单一标准     

邓娟 《安徽职业技术学院学报》2005,4(3):29-33

关于离婚法定条件的探讨贯穿于我国婚姻法发展的整个过程。从1950年新中国第一部婚姻法到1980年婚姻法的重新制定,乃至2001年婚姻法的修订,都是一个探索的过程,但探索的结论并没有很大的突破,仍是将离婚法定条件定为感情或婚姻破裂的单一标准。出于完善我国婚姻立法中的法理基础的需要,笔者以为应在我国婚姻立法中确立混合标准的离婚法定条件。  相似文献

Steps Toward More Effective Implementation of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing     

Daniel Koretz 《Educational Measurement》2006,25(3):46-50

The goal of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing is to improve testing practices, but their impact on practice appears spotty. Self-regulation clearly fails in some instances. The establishment of an external agency to oversee testing practices and adherence to the Standards would face substantial hurdles, and the ambiguity of many of the Standards would hobble such an organization if one were created. Many of the Standards are general statements of principle, and past controversies make clear that we in the field often disagree about the reasons for them, their applicability to specific cases, and their practical meaning in specific contexts. This paper argues that the field should follow two approaches to lessen this ambiguity. First, using journals, conferences, and other vehicles, we should foster more frequent and more protracted debate about the practical meaning of key Standards, such as 13.6 and 13.7, which mandate that a decision that will have a "major impact" on a student should not be based on a single score. Second, future revisions of the Standards should use concrete examples of testing practices to clarify the meaning of the Standards, much as the legal system uses case law to clarify the meaning of the general principles embodied in statutes .  相似文献

论综合运输体系的效率标准——兼论运价在综合运输体系中的作用     

张国发 《上海海事大学学报》1993,(1)

本文提出了衡量综合运输体系的三个效率标准,即货运弹性与货运强度标准、经济里程与平均运距标准和优势资源利用率标准;根据上述标准,作者在实证考察我国综合运输体系效率的基础上,指出应当让运价即市场在运输方式的配置中发挥主导作用,并从运价调整的依据、目标与方式几方面提出了具体建议。  相似文献
