- 融合流失预测与客户价值分层,生成可操作的营销分组。
- 模型在7043名用户上实现77.68%准确率,F1达0.6366。
- 适合电信、金融等需精细化运营的行业使用。
客户流失是电信公司面临的核心挑战,直接导致收入下降和长期关系受损。传统挽留策略依赖通用激励,缺乏对高风险客户的精准识别。本文提出一个数据驱动的营销优化框架,整合基于机器学习的流失预测、结合流失风险与客户价值的客户分群,以及针对不同群体制定的定制化营销与投资回报(ROI)策略。利用包含7043名客户和21个特征的IBM电信客户流失数据集,通过随机搜索与分层5折交叉验证,对XGBoost、LightGBM和CatBoost三种梯度提升集成模型进行训练与调优,并采用类别加权与以F1分数为导向的决策阈值优化,应对73.4%对26.6%的类别不平衡问题。最终选择CatBoost作为部署模型,在独立测试集上达到77.68%准确率,F1得分为0.6366,精确率-召回率曲线下面积(PR AUC)为0.6553,受试者工作特征曲线下面积(ROC AUC)为0.8403。通过K均值聚类并经肘部法则验证与主成分分析可视化,将客户划分为高、中、低价值三类,再与流失风险标签交叉分析,形成四个可行动的客户集群。针对各集群设计了专属的挽留、升级与互动策略,并构建理论性ROI与客户生命周期价值(CLV)框架,量化干预的财务影响。整个流程已通过交互式Streamlit Web应用实现,支持营销团队上传数据、按群组筛选、通过SHAP可视化流失驱动因素,并下载自动生成的分组报告。结果表明,将预测性流失模型与价值感知分群相结合,比仅依赖流失预测能带来更可操作且更盈利的营销决策。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Customer churn is a major challenge for telecommunication companies, directly eroding revenue and long term customer relationships. Traditional retention programs rely on generic, not personalized incentives and lack the precision to identify high risk customers before they leave. This paper presents a data driven marketing optimization framework integrating machine learning based churn prediction, customer segmentation combining churn risk with customer value, and tailored, segment specific marketing and Return on Investment ROI strategies. Using the IBM Telco Customer Churn dataset with 7043 customers and 21 features, three gradient boosting ensembles, XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost, were trained and tuned via randomized search with stratified 5 fold cross validation, class weighting, and F1 score driven decision threshold optimization to counter a class imbalance of 73.4% versus 26.6%. CatBoost was selected as the deployment model, achieving 77.68% accuracy, an F1 score of 0.6366, a PR AUC of 0.6553, and a ROC AUC of 0.8403 on the held out test set. Customers were partitioned with K Means clustering, validated via the Elbow method and visualized with Principal Component Analysis, into High, Medium, and Low Value segments, cross tabulated against churn risk labels to define four actionable clusters. Segment specific retention, upsell, and engagement strategies were designed for each cluster, and a theoretical ROI and CLV framework quantifies the financial impact of the proposed interventions. The pipeline was operationalized in an interactive Streamlit web application allowing marketing teams to upload data, filter by segment, visualize churn drivers via SHAP, and download automated segment reports. Results confirm that combining predictive churn modeling with value aware segmentation yields more actionable and profitable marketing decisions than churn prediction alone.
