Predicting Customer Churn: Extreme Gradient Boosting with Temporal Data
Accurately predicting customer churn using large scale time-series data is a common problem facing many business domains. The creation of model features across various time windows for training and testing can be particularly challenging due to temporal issues common to time-series data. In this paper, we will explore the application of extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) on a customer dataset with a wide-variety of temporal features in order to create a highly-accurate customer churn model. In particular, we describe an effective method for handling temporally sensitive feature engineering. The proposed model was submitted in the WSDM Cup 2018 Churn Challenge and achieved first-place out of 575 teams.
