Abstract:
System, including method, apparatus, and computer-readable media, for evaluating client status for a likelihood of churn. Client data may be received, with the client data representing events from a set of different event types performed by clients. Parameters of a statistical model that describes client behavior may be estimated using a computer and based on the client data. A churn type of event may be encoded in the statistical model as an absorbing state of a stochastic process, with a time of transition to the absorbing state modeled as being infinite. At least one of the parameters may correspond to the churn type of event. A likelihood of churn may be calculated for a plurality of the clients at one or more time points using the statistical model and its estimated parameters.
