Data Mining Techniques

Neural
Networks
• Computing systems
with interconnected
nodes like neurons
in the human
brain.
• Using algorithms,
they can recognize
hidden patterns
and correlations in
raw data, cluster
and classify it, and
– over time –
continuously learn
and improve
Evolutionary
Computation
• A Collection of
Algorithms based
on evolutionary
Biology Processes
• Can also be defined
as Optimisation
Program routines
for a defined
Population,
eliminating
members basis
factors till the fittest
is arrived at.
Association
Rules
• Conclusions based
on the relationship
between
characteristics of a
defined group and
aspects of their
behavior.
Case Based
Reasoning
• A current problem
is addressed via
precedents or
historical data.

Segmentation Techniques
Cluster Analysis & K Means Cluster Analysis
27
k-means cluster analysis is an algorithm that groups similar objects into
groups called clusters. The endpoint of cluster analysis is a set of clusters,
where each cluster is distinct from each other cluster, and the objects within
each cluster are broadly similar to each other.
Segmentation Techniques
Cluster Analysis & Segment Profiling

RFM Model

Segmentation Research
Chaid- Chi Square Automated Detection
• Variable chosen by
Marketer
• Creates Multiple sub-
segments
• More accurate than
RFM
Used to build a predictive model to outline a specific customer group or segment
34
Segmentation Research
CART Analysis
• Two groups/ variable
• Yields Only Two segments
• Works on a Ratio Scale
• The best split point of each
input is obtained.
• Based on the best split points
of each input in Step 1, the
new “best” split point is
identified.
• Split the chosen input
according to the “best” split
point.
• Continue splitting until a
stopping rule is satisfied or no
further desirable splitting is
available.
35
Segmentation Research
Response Gain Chart
• Based on historical
data and test models
• Enables choosing the
most responsive
sections
• Relationship Phase a
