Case studies in applying data mining for churn analysis [PDF]
The advent of price and product comparison sites now makes it even more important to retain customers and identify those that might be at risk of leaving. The use of data mining methods has been widely advocated for predicting customer churn.

ABSTRACT We find that long‐term institutional investors tilt their portfolios toward firms with better Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) profiles, in the cross sections of both institutional investor portfolios and the ownership of firms. We test whether several theoretically motivated mechanisms can explain this relationship.

Bagging and boosting classification trees to predict churn. [PDF]
In this paper, bagging and boosting techniques are proposed as performing tools for churn prediction. These methods consist of sequentially applying a classification algorithm to resampled or reweigthed versions of the data set. We apply these algorithms

Location‐Based Accessibility and Innovation Performance
ABSTRACT While the importance of local characteristics for innovation activities has been studied extensively, it remains largely unknown to which extent better transport‐based accessibilities facilitate innovation. This study builds on data from a Germany‐wide agent‐based transport model to derive local accessibilities for different modes of transport

Handling class imbalance in customer churn prediction [PDF]
Customer churn is often a rare event in service industries, but of great interest and great value. Until recently, however, class imbalance has not received much attention in the context of data mining [Weiss, G. M. (2004). Mining with rarity: A unifying framework. SIGKDD Explorations, 6(1), 7-19]. In this study, we investigate how we can better handle

A century of art dealing in New York. The rise of American art
Abstract We study art trade in New York between 1870 and 1970, analysing returns on investment by the renowned Knoedler gallery to shed light on the evolution of the American art market. A generalist art gallery should allocate investments to equalize expected returns, with differences in effective returns depending on purchase prices, number of traded
