Target profiling in predictive modeling
First Claim
1. A machine-based method comprising:
- for a process in which a user generates a set of predictor attributes based on historical data about a customer relationship system being modeled,enabling the user to perform a first set of transformations on the predictor attributes of the data,based on impact of the first set of transformations on a predictive power of the predictor attributes, enabling the user to determine whether to apply a second set of transformations to the predictor attributes to alter the impact on the predictive power,automatically ranking performance of the predictor attributes as transformed by at least one of the first set and second set of transformations, andusing results of the ranking of the performance of the transformed predictor attributes for marketing communications to be made to customers, the customers being subject to the customer relationship system being modeled.

Abstract
Models are generated using a variety of tools and features of a model generation platform. For example, in connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, the user is provided through a graphical user interface a structured sequence of model generation activities to be followed, the sequence including dimension reduction, model generation, model process validation, and model re-generation.
In connection with a process in which a user generates a collection of predictive models or an aggregate predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, profiles of aggregate targets are generated based on key contributory variables.

7. A machine-based method comprising:
-
for a project in which a user generates a final predictive model based on a series of predictive models, the final predictive model being associated with a customer relationship system, for the final predictive model, automatically grouping customers into segments based on identified distinguishing characteristics of the customers in the customer relationship system, generating predictor variables for each segment, enabling the user to apply transformations to the predictor variables until significant interactions among the generated predictor variables are taken into account, each transformed predictor variable being associated with at least one of the series of predictive models, generating the final predictive model based on at least some of the predictive models of the series that are associated with one or more of the transformed predictor variables, and using the final predictive model for marketing communications to be made to customers who are subject to the customer relationship system being modeled. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
