Course details
Regression Analysis: This unit focuses on the application of regression techniques to predict continuous outcomes, such as customer lifetime value (CLV) in retail. Students learn to model and analyze the relationships between variables to make accurate predictions. •
Machine Learning Algorithms: This unit covers the essential machine learning algorithms used for CLV prediction, including decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting, and neural networks. Students learn to implement and evaluate these algorithms using popular libraries like scikit-learn and TensorFlow. •
Data Preprocessing and Feature Engineering: This unit emphasizes the importance of data quality and preparation in CLV prediction. Students learn to handle missing data, normalize features, and create new features to improve model performance. •
Customer Segmentation and Profiling: This unit explores the use of clustering and dimensionality reduction techniques to segment customers based on their behavior and characteristics. Students learn to create customer profiles to inform marketing strategies and improve CLV predictions. •
Time Series Analysis: This unit focuses on the analysis of time series data, which is common in retail data. Students learn to model and forecast sales, website traffic, and other relevant metrics to improve CLV predictions. •
Model Evaluation and Selection: This unit covers the evaluation of machine learning models using metrics like mean absolute error (MAE) and mean squared error (MSE). Students learn to select the best model for CLV prediction based on performance and business requirements. •
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Calculation: This unit provides a comprehensive overview of CLV calculation, including the use of probability of purchase, average order value, and customer retention rates. Students learn to calculate CLV using various methods, including the discrete-time CLV model. •
Marketing Mix Optimization: This unit applies machine learning techniques to optimize marketing mix strategies, including pricing, advertising, and promotions. Students learn to use CLV predictions to inform marketing decisions and improve overall business performance. •
Big Data Analytics: This unit covers the use of big data analytics tools and techniques to analyze large datasets and improve CLV predictions. Students learn to work with Hadoop, Spark, and other big data platforms to extract insights from large datasets. •
Interpretability and Explainability: This unit focuses on the importance of model interpretability and explainability in CLV prediction. Students learn to use techniques like feature importance and partial dependence plots to understand how models make predictions and identify areas for improvement.
