a bigger player is https://www.zodiacmetrics.com/ https://www.zodiacmetrics.com/, who have many peer-reviewed papers and are thus transparent with their (general) forecasting approach. i would love to see some model details given the maturity of other teams.
(disclosure: i took a class with the prof whose research drives zodiac)
- jdwyah 9y agoZodiac is definitely worth a look. They did a pretty good job of predicting our long-term user’s future revenues. Also all of the academic papers around it are good reads. That said, that didn’t solve our problem because what we really wanted was predictions of our new customers. So we could quickly see whether or not their quality was changing. I just wrote something up about where we landed. https://engineering.ezcater.com/early-prediction-of-customer-lifetime-value https://engineering.ezcater.com/early-prediction-of-customer...
- rattray 9y agoI, too, took a class with one of the profs whose research drives zodiac (Peter Fader). He's incredible; probably the best at combining mathematics and practical notions of business value (and, frankly, charisma) that I encountered at Wharton. Made me fall in love with both bayesian stats and calculus all over again.
