A novel time series clustering method with fine-tuned support vector regression for customer behavior analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• A two-stage customer behavior analysis methodology is proposed.

• The methodology performs customer segmentation using historical transactions.

• Hybrid SVRGOA is proposed to forecast customers’ behavior accurately.

• The empirical results show that the SVRGOA outperforms other standard techniques.
