Abstract

Customer attrition has become the focus of many businesses today – since the online market space has continued to proffer customers, various choices and alternatives to goods, services, and products for their monies. Businesses must seek to improve value, meet customers' teething demands/needs, enhance their strategies toward customer retention, and better monetize. The study compares the effects of data resampling schemes on predicting customer churn for both Random Forest (RF) and XGBoost ensembles. Data resampling schemes used include: (a) default mode, (b) random-under-sampling RUS, (c) synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), and (d) SMOTE-edited nearest neighbor (SMOTEEN). Both tree-based ensembles were constructed and trained to assess how well they performed with the chi-square feature selection mode. The result shows that RF achieved F1 0.9898, Accuracy 0.9973, Precision 0.9457, and Recall 0.9698 for the default, RUS, SMOTE, and SMOTEEN resampling, respectively. Xgboost outperformed Random Forest with F1 0.9945, Accuracy 0.9984, Precision 0.9616, and Recall 0.9890 for the default, RUS, SMOTE, and SMOTEEN, respectively. Studies support that the use of SMOTEEN resampling outperforms other schemes; while, it attributed XGBoost enhanced performance to hyper-parameter tuning of its decision trees. Retention strategies of recency-frequency-monetization were used and have been found to curb churn and improve monetization policies that will place business managers ahead of the curve of churning by customers.

Abstract

The global demand for automation that seeks the efficient consumption and usage of energy via the adoption of embedded-fit management solutions that yield improved performance with reduced consumption has become the new norm. These explore sensor-based units in their own right with eco-friendly platforms that raise germane environmental, health, and consumption regulation(s) concerns that have today become a global issue, even when they proffer improved life standards that replace traditional solutions. Our study posits an embedded sensor design to observe environmental conditions associated with energy consumption by residential or home appliances. It utilizes a machine learning scheme and algorithm to analyze the total energy consumed by each appliance and delivers optimal consumption that reduces energy waste. The system was tested across multiple parameters and found to yield desired effectiveness, reliability, and efficiency. Our utilization of the ESP8266 and ThingSpeak is able to handle extensive inputs without significant delays or data losses. Results affirms the system ability to maintain stable performance even with more devices connected to the unit.
