Outline:
3. Datawarehouse Architecture Data Mining Applications
Data mining has been named differently such as
knowledge discovery, business intelligence, predictive modelling, predictive analytics and so on.
Data Mining is a business process for exploring large
amount of data to discover meaningful patterns and rules. Data Mining Applications
● Financial Data Analysis
● Retail Industry ● Telecommunication Industry ● Biological Data Analysis ● Other Scientific Applications ● Intrusion Detection Retail Data Analytics
The main purpose of data mining techniques in retail
industry is to understand markets and customers.
Data mining can also be used to optimise sales
operation ( For example, choosing the right mix of products and optimal price)
Having insights about markets and customers could
enhance competitive advantages. Retail Data Analytics
Understanding customers is also known
as customer relationship management.
Customer relationship management identifies
five different stages or phases of customers: 1. Prospects 2. Responders 3. New customers 4. Established customers 5. Former customers. Data Mining for Customer Acquisition
Customer Acquisition is the process of attracting
prospects and turning them into new customers.
Data mining techniques can be applied for response
modelling to predict how likely a customer responds to different channels such as email, direct mail and telemarketing.
Response modelling helps retailers to perform targeted
marketing by focusing only on those prospects who are more likely to respond. Decision Tree for Response Modelling
What is decision tree?
Decision tree is a supervised learning method used for
classification and regression.
The goal is to create a model that predicts the value of a
target variable by learning simple decision rules inferred from the data features. Decision Tree for Response Modelling
The first step to apply any data mining technique is to
prepare a data set.
The following is a sample of data set used to build
response model using decision tree data mining technique. Decision Tree for Response Modelling
A sample data set.
The first column is the target variable that shows whether the prospect customer responds or not to an email marketing campaign.
The other columns are features which contains “age”, “lifestyle”,
“zipcode”, “familystatus”, “car_value”, “sports_type” and “earnings per year”. Decision Tree for Response Modelling
Output of Decision tree:
We can use this
response model to predict whether a given prospect customer will respond to the email marketing campaign Data Warehouse Architecture
