ABSTRACT
Effective prediction of customer migration is only possible through knowledge of the customer life cycle, which is characterized by the length of the relationship between buyer and provider, i.e. customer retention. A concept of opposite importance is customer migration, defined as the partial or total abandonment of the products or services offered by a company. Its knowledge and ability to predict it is crucial in terms of ensuring the continued financial security of target companies. The primary objective of this article was to present a method for assessing the risk of telecom industry customer migration using machine learning methods. The objective was achieved through the use of research methods, theoretical deductions such as and induction, system analysis and synthesis, and mathematical modelling, which additionally allowed for a practical analysis of the migration of customers of the telecommunications industry. Predictors with the greatest impact on the phenomenon under study were selected. It should be noted that the gain chart indicates that, in the case of contacting the 20% of customers selected by the models, the target coverage would be at the following levels, respectively: 70% for the boosted tree model and the decision tree based on the CART algorithm, and 75% for the random forest model. The research niche addressed in the article is the development of methods for assessing migration risk using machine learning techniques. The tool developed in the article can support decision-making in the creation of marketing campaigns aimed at retaining the largest number of customers.
