Preface
Uplift modeling is a data mining approach to a specific challenge that occurs in various areas of application: predicting the impact of a treatment and selecting those items (such as customers, patients, or machines) on whom the predicted impact is (most) beneficial. Consequently, uplift modeling maximizes the effectiveness of treatments. The topic has received considerable attention by researchers and practitioners. In 2015, a Gartner study (see [1]) mentioned it as one of the upcoming hot topics of advanced analytics with much potential ahead. Currently, most of the relevant articles and white papers are focused on methods and applications of uplift modeling in direct marketing, churn prevention, and medicine. This book aims at covering all relevant aspects of uplift modeling from a general point of view, such as data preparation, modeling methods, assessment of uplift models, software implementations, and potential specific areas of application. The audience targeted by this book comprises data scientists, especially researches and practitioners in predictive modeling and s
