Jak analityka wspiera telekomy w obszarze personalizacji relacji z klientami?

W poprzednim artykule wspominałem, że niezbędnym elementem koncepcji hiper-personalizacji komunikacji z klientami jest analityka. Gdy umiemy już zbierać i identyfikować kluczowe wydarzenia w życiu klienta, a także mamy gotowe repozytorium reakcji na te sygnały, potrzebujemy mechanizmu, który podejmie decyzję komu, kiedy i jaką ofertę zakomunikować, w jaki sposób i w

SAS® Fast-KPCA: An efficient and innovative nonlinear principal components method

SAS® Fast-KPCA implementation bypasses the limitations of exact KPCA methods. SAS® internally uses k-means to find a representative sample of a subset of points. This row reduction method has the advantage that c centroids are chosen to minimize the variation of points nearest to each centroid and maximize the variation to the other cluster centroids. In some cases, the downstream effect of using k-means on computing the SVD increases numerical stability and improves clustering, discrimination, and classification.
