Abstract

In the field of business data analysis, customer churn prediction analysis plays an important role. This paper combines traditional statistical prediction methods and artificial intelligence prediction methods to propose a customer churn prediction analysis model based on missing data in an attempt to explore a new solution in this field. Based on the missing data in this model, factor analysis method and data mining technique are used to generate key factor sets and their values to form input neurons and their initial values. The number of hidden layer neurons was determined by combinatorial prediction. Using the improved genetic algorithm, the initial weight and threshold of BP network are determined. Finally, the prediction results and key attribute data related to the prediction results are generated for decision makers to analyze the problem. The experiment evaluates the model from the aspects of accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure, which proves that the model is effective.
