Nonparametric Pricing Analytics with Customer Covariates
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a nonparametric pricing policy to simultaneously learn the preference of customers based on the covariates and maximize the expected revenue over a finite horizon. ...
Personalized pricing analytics is becoming an essential tool in retailing. ...

Tricked by Truncation: Spurious Duration Dependence and Social Contagion in Hazard Models
2011
Marketing science (Providence, R.I.)
Not accounting for right truncation can also lead to suboptimal pricing decisions and to erroneous assessments of variations in customer lifetime value. ...
Truncation also tends to deflate the effect of time-invariant covariates. ...
We consider three substantive issues: new product pricing without contagion, new product advertising with contagion, and customer lifetime value. ...

A survey of non-exchangeable priors for Bayesian nonparametric models
[article]
2012
arXiv
pre-print
Such models are appropriate priors when exchangeability assumptions do not hold, and instead we want our model to vary fluidly with some set of covariates. ...

The volatility of the price of a financial instrument is a measure of the instrument's price variation. High volatility implies large changes in price and vice versa. ...

A Bayesian mixed logit–probit model for multinomial choice
2008
Journal of Econometrics
We estimate the model using a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique with a multivariate Dirichlet Process (DP) prior on the coefficients with nonparametrically estimated density. ...
We estimate the nonparametric density of two key variables of interest: the price of a basket of goods based on scanner data, and driving distance to the supermarket based on their respective locations ...

Marketing letters
Similar datasets emerge in retailing with potential use of RFIDs, online auctions (e.g., eBay), social networking sites (e.g., mySpace), product reviews (e.g., ePinion), customer relationship marketing ...
Factor analytic approach Consider a retailer with data on sales and pricing for each of 30 brands across 300 customers for 36 months who wants to understand the (cross) effects of price on brand sales, ...
With a two-factor solution, the model would require 1,800 estimates for the covariance of the price coefficients, still large but more manageable than a full-covariance model. ...

Business analytics meets artificial intelligence: Assessing the demand effects of discounts on Swiss train tickets
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Considering a survey-based sample of buyers of supersaver tickets, we investigate which customer- or trip-related characteristics (including the discount rate) predict buying behavior, namely: booking ...
increases weakly monotonically in the discount rate, we identify the discount rate's effect among 'always buyers', who would have traveled even without a discount, based on our survey that asks about customer ...
More concisely, our study provides two use cases of machine learning for business analytics in the railway industry: (i) Predicting buying behavior among supersaver customers, namely whether customers ...
