ABSTRACT:
In last 20 years, the application of Predictive Modeling has gradually evolved and has become popular in many B2C companies. These applications range from offline targeted marketing to real-time credit card fraud detection. In these uses, an entity (typically a customer) is characterized by its static (demographic, psychographic, etc) and more importantly dynamic behavioral attributes usually derived from transactional data.
