The market department of a financial firm keeps records on customers, including demographic information and their type of accounts. The firm is launching a new product and wishes to determine who are the best prospects among the existing customers for this new product. People are asked to provide a list of 1000 best prospects. Regression, decision tree and neural network models are built to use for scoring the prospective customers. A confusion matrix is then used to determine what the cut-off point for the scores for customers should be used to determine who qualifies as a good target. The models are compared by assessing model performance and validating the model to new data.
