Customer Churn Prediction is an increasingly pressing issue in today's ever-competitive commercial arena. Although there are several researches in churn prediction, but the accuracy rate, which is very important to business, is not high enough. Recently, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), based on statistical learning theory, are gaining applications in the areas of data mining, machine learning, computer vision and pattern recognition because of high accuracy and good generalization capability. But there has no report about using SVM to Customer Churn Prediction. According to churn data set characteristic, the number of negative examples is very small, we introduce an improved one-class SVM. And we have tested our method on the wireless industry customer churn data set. Our method has been shown to perform very well compared with other traditional methods, ANN, Decision Tree, and Naïve Bays. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
