Abstract

We describe CHAMP (CHurn Analysis, Modeling, and Prediction), anautomated system for modeling cellular customer behavior on a large scale.Using historical data from GTE‘s data warehouse for cellular phone customers, every month CHAMP identifies churn factors for several geographic regionsand updates models to generate churn scores predicting who is likely tochurn within the near future. CHAMP is capable of developing customizedmonthly models and churn scores for over one hundred GTE cellular phonemarkets totaling over 5 million customers.
