Data Science for Marketing Analytics

By: Tommy Blanchard, Debasish Behera, Pranshu Bhatnagar

Overview of this book

Data Science for Marketing Analytics covers every stage of data analytics, from working with a raw dataset to segmenting a population and modeling different parts of the population based on the segments. The book starts by teaching you how to use Python libraries, such as pandas and Matplotlib, to read data from Python, manipulate it, and create plots, using both categorical and continuous variables. Then, you'll learn how to segment a population into groups and use different clustering techniques to evaluate customer segmentation. As you make your way through the chapters, you'll explore ways to evaluate and select the best segmentation approach, and go on to create a linear regression model on customer value data to predict lifetime value. In the concluding chapters, you'll gain an understanding of regression techniques and tools for evaluating regression models, and explore ways to predict customer choice using classification algorithms. Finally, you'll apply these techniques to create a churn model for modeling customer product choices. By the end of this book, you will be able to build your own marketing reporting and interactive dashboard solutions.

Creating a Data Science Pipeline

OSEMN is one of the most common data science pipelines used for approaching any kind of data science problem. It's pronounced awesome.

OSEMN stands for the following:

  1. Obtaining the data, which can be from any source, structured, unstructured, or semi-structured.

  2. Scrubbing the data, which is getting your hands dirty and cleaning the data, which can involve renaming columns and imputing missing values.

  3. Exploring the data to find out the relationships between each of the variables. Searching for any correlation among the variables. Finding the relationship between the explanatory variables and the response variable.

  4. Modeling the data, which can include prediction, forecasting, and clustering.

  5. INterpreting the data, which is combining all the analyses and results to draw a conclusion.

Obtaining the Data

This step refers to collecting data. Data can be obtained from a single source or from multiple sources. In the real world, collecting data is not always easy since...
