Simulation of disequilibrium and chaos in aggregates of disposable income, wealth, and consumption in EU macroeconomics using nonlinear dynamic analysis

Economic disequilibrium theory (DT) more realistically represents modern macroeconomic systems than general equilibrium theory. DT coupled with applied mathematical economics and nonlinear dynamical analysis generates multi-dimensional phase spaces. Interdependencies of endogenous variables in state space create a flow of different and “parallel economic realities,” which depend on the initial conditions. By modeling variable changes using the nonlinear least squares (NLLS) method, we define the...

Class balancing in customer segments classification using support vector machine rule extraction and ensemble learning

An objective and data-based market segmentation is a precondition for efficient targeting in direct marketing campaigns. The role of customer segments classification in direct marketing is to predict the segment of most valuable customers who is likely to respond to a campaign based on previous purchasing behavior. A good-performing predictive model can significantly increase revenue, but also, reduce unnecessary marketing campaign costs. As this segment of customers is generally the smallest, most...

Segmentation Approach for Athleisure and Performance Sport Retailers Based on Data Mining Techniques

This paper seeks to compare certain customer segments from two sport footwear, apparel, and equipment retailers and to examine an objective market segmentation method, based on the recency, frequency, monetary (RFM) and the decision tree (DT) models. The case study is based on two data sets, aiming to compare the different customer segments, both from sport retail industry, and represents an application of data mining techniques in a business environment. The customer segmentation enables the customer...

Socio-Demographic Impacts on the Personal Savings Portfolio Choice

Insufficiently developed financial system, poor standard of living and inappropriate education of citizens on the saving products, lead to low level of investment in the financial market of developing countries. In this paper special attention is paid to examining the socio-demographic profile of Montenegrin citizens that invest their funds in some of the offered form of savings, as well as examining main factors that restrict their investment. For this purpose, data collected through the survey...

Improving Structure Based Models for Predicting Chemical Functions and Weight Fractions in Cosmetic Products using Ensemble Support Vector Machine

Abstract Through usage of a large number of cosmetic products, consumers are very often exposed to toxic chemicals. This paper is aimed at proposing a model for the prediction of chemical functions and weight fractions in these products based on the structural and physical-chemical properties of the chemicals. Due to the imbalance of classes we used Support Vector Machine (SVM) method, which can complement a smaller class with the examples that are most similar to it and identify the examples...
