Basic Customer Segmentation Use Case

Basic Customer Segmentation
Customer SegmentationCustomer segmentation is the sub-division of a market into discrete different groups of customers, where each group shares similar characteristics. This workflow illustrates how to build a basiccustomer segmentation model, using a clustering procedure.Task Build a basic customer segmentation using a clustering procedure. For a more extensive analysis, check the whitepaper "Customer Segmentation comfortably from a Web Browser" at the following URL: https://www.knime.org/files/white-papers/customer_segmentation.pdf Pre-processing - Join contract data and behavioral data - Convert Churn values to String to be used as class in upcomingclassification - Normalize all numerical columns in [0,1] ClusteringClustering is performed with k-Means. Other Learner nodes train other models. MostLearner nodes output a PMML model (blue square output port).
